This week on Dressed for the Grave, we step into the smoky world of nineteenth-century opium dens, laudanum bottles, absinthe cafés, and the Green Fairy's very dramatic public downfall. From Limehouse moral panic to Victorian medicine cabinets, and Belle Époque absinthe rituals, this episode looks at how addiction could be dressed up as medicine, art, scandal, or vice depending on who was holding the glass.

This episode discusses addiction, substance use, overdose risk, and historical medical practices involving opium and alcohol. If you are struggling, or if someone you love is, you are not weak, ruined, dramatic, or beyond help. You are human. Help exists, and you deserve it.
