Hallucinogens In The 1890's?

Oh yeah!

No doubt about it.

What else could explain this architecture?

Considering how straight laced (we thought) people were a hundred years ago, some of the architecture makes you think, what were they inhaling?

Or maybe it was just some bad coal dust?



Whatever it was - it was catching.

And if these don't convince you, I recommend an afternoon at Casa Loma.....

My guess would be Ether or Morphine or a really bad hangover. Stop trying to give good herbs a bad name.

You can see why FLW was such a ground-breaker!
