It was the naturally occuring kind. It's pretty rare and not as strong as today's home brewed versions, but when mixed with absinthe it packed quite a whallop!

 
I saw the movie. My best guess, Laudanum!! Google laudanum+civil war, by 1865
there were 500k addicts.
Wyatt's wife in the movie Tombstone was a junkie on it.
Laudanum=high test alkyhol+raw opium extract. No, it can't be bought legally.....😉
