The "weird" women? As in the wife and "sisters" of Giovanni Ribisi's character? I just thought it was booze in the bottles...?

 

[GasX]

No, it was crystal meth laced absinthe...

 

[EvilYoda]

Well, I guess it would be easier if we had read the book...which it sounds like you've done

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.....

absinthe takes 2 weeks to make. i think i'll attempt to prepare the real stuff at home.
