The problem may have started with the first sensual people on the earth Adam and Eve. She ate the apple as the story goes and then saw that it was good and offered it to her mate Adam. That's when they noticed that they were naked

As men and women moved forward in the overall scheme of things life became more complicated with the introduction of drugs to gratify the senses.

What today is known as "Meth", has its chemical basis in drugs used by the Germans already in WWI. Meth is not really a new drug. More a rediscovered mixture.

I was told that by a German police officer who worked in the drugs department.

Several classes of warriors and organised assassins throughout history used drugs to adrenlise themselves, lower pain sensiblity and reduce fear. Famous are the Arab Hashashins/Assassins, and the Norse Berserks. The latter also were able to enter a trance-like stance during battle or hard labour without consuming drugs.
