Around 1960, when they played in Hamburg, the Beatles bought Preludin (phenmetrazine) OTC in West German chemist shops.
Diamorphine was available OTC in Australia before 1968 for the treatment of hangover ('draught') in unit doses, as were opium based cough mixtures, in bottles of reasonable size.
There has been a change from disorders of duty to disorders of appetite. (WWII and amphetamine.)The restrictions were not neccessary then. Things will change in the future.
