Horned one- you mention using the poppy to soothe your psychic woes- i'm sure you know opium is the oldest AD in the book- physicians would routinely prescribe laudenum for sufferers of the black dog. Opium grains were available over the counter from pharmacists, one account from the 19th C. tells of the wave of epidemic opium consumption among the proliteriat in Manchester during a time when it was cheaper than ale. Kids all doped up and everything. Apparently opium , not tea, was the opium of the masses.
