High Society

 

In case you missed it - The Wellcome Collection in London held an exhibition on the history of mind-altering drugs.
From their website:
From ancient Egyptian poppy tinctures to Victorian cocaine eye drops, Native American peyote rites to the salons of the French Romantics, mind-altering drugs have a rich history. 'High Society' will explore the paths by which these drugs were first discovered - from apothecaries' workshops to state-of-the-art laboratories - and how they came to be simultaneously fetishised and demonised in today’s culture.

You can find the online version of the exhibition here.
