Until 1924, you could buy Heroin in stores. There was heroin cough syrup, heroin lozenges and heroin tablets.

The most amazing thing was that “Heroin” was a trademark of Bayer. Discovered by a British chemist in 1874, heroin was mass produced by German pharmaceutical company Bayer 14 years later. The name “Heroin” was inspired by the “heroic” fearlessness sensation users felt after using it. Pharmacists marketed heroin as an excellent pain killer, and a cure for many respiratory ailments.
