EDWARD DANTES, THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO, WAS THE FIRST PERSON IN CLASSIC LITERATURE TO HAVE USED HASHISH OIL TO 'STEADY HIS NERVES' AFTER EMOTIONAL CONFRONTATIONS....

                                SEVERAL TIMES, HE IS SEEING 'TAKING A BREAK', in the shadows of privacy,  DISPENSING A FEW DROPS OF 'ESSENTIAL OILS' UPON HIS UPPER INDEX FINGER, THEN LAPPING 'IT' UP....      I HAVE A SMALL ANTIQUE, CARVED STONE CONTAINER, MOUNTED WITH GOLD AND HAVING A TIGHT GLASS 'STOPPER' TO CONTAIN THE 'MEDICINAL' LIQUID.....WHICH COULD BE CARRIED IN A VEST POCKET......NOW, I HAVE AN 'OFFICIAL' USE FOR IT!
