Reply to comment by 9Lives_ in TIL: Asthmador was an asthma treatment in the US in the 1950s. It was made up of 3 toxic/hallucinogenic compounds belladonna (atropine), stramonium (nightshade/jimson weed), and potassium perchlorate (oxidant commonly used in fireworks). One common delivery method for Asthmador - cigarettes! by Geek_Nan

That’s very fascinating. I’m not sure I’d be willing to take any myself, but it’s interesting that they’ve done this research.

It has many routes of administration, from tincture drops to ointments that you can apply locally.

I’m going to look into this—for research purposes, of course.
