drug mention by way of a wigglytuff kvetching about historical inaccuracies in a tv show
ok, "the pinkertons" is not what you'd call good tv.
it's like mediocre at best.
but the historical inaccuracy that got my goat? nearly every character treating heroin in 1867 as this thing which is definitely bad and is known to be bad and it's so tragic that it's still legal when it came up during the course of an investigation

@wigglytuffitout 1867 was still during the era of morphine or opium, heroin didn't start being introduced as a morphine substitute for decades afterwards

@InspectorCaracal YEAH THERE'S ALSO THAT HONESTLY
but even if they had gotten it right and said morphine, like... nobody would be saying tickety boo about this shit lol. a woman who is crippled with the mental stress of memories of being a nurse in the civil war? of COURSE she's gonna have a morphine kit, and that's gonna be NORMAL as THE BEST TREATMENT BY POPULAR OPINION
anyway it irks me lol
