Re: Abbey Street uniform shop - drug using equipment?

Oh yes the old opium dens and what have you. Weren't some drugs once legal which are now illegal? Maybe there were more drugs around than I thought but I don't think smoking equipment would have automatically been associated with drug taking in people's minds in those days. My granddad used to buy tobacco in solid lumps which he had to fiddle about with and 'strand' before it was smokable. He had some stuff which was perfumed too. Holland House it was called. Got it from Woods which used to be at the top of Union Street.
