The Opium War Through Chinese Eyes (Stanford University Press, 1958), by Arthur Waley, is a must read for anyone concerned about the proliferation of drug usage in the U.S.

Another interesting read about dangerous and/or illicit substances is The Poisoners Handbook. This one is specifically about the development of forensic medicine in New York City during Prohibition. Most folks do not know this, but the federal government put poison in industrial alcohol to dissuade illegal use. The results were horrifying.

Still do. You can buy denatured alcohol at Home Deport. It's grain alcohol (ethanol) with toxins added.

I recommend not drinking it.
