Your English teacher is also wrong. Tell him/her that Matt Jacob said so. This was taken from the Sherlockian.Net FAQ .
quote:Did Sherlock Holmes use illegal drugs? No. He used morphine and cocaine ; see The Sign of the Four and a few other tales. Both drugs were legal in Holmes's time, could be bought at the corner drugstore, and were ingredients in patent medicines and popular products including Coca-Cola.
And no, there is no evidence that Arthur Conan Doyle ever used recreational drugs. For much more, see Subcutaneously, My Dear Watson, by Jack Tracy and Jim Berkey, 1978.
