At my first job, we were in a building that was formerly the family owned and operated pharmacy. The pharmacy was long closed, and the building was then a photo studio and photo lab.
The bosses mother worked there from the pharmacy opening in the 1930s to the day her husband died. She told about the very high society women that would send a family servant to their pharmacy for several bottles of Laudanum that her husband would prepare. Most also ordered a laxative as well. Of course it was all very hush hush and even then everyone knew Laudanum was an addictive drug, but it was legal then.
There was still a huge safe in one room that had a smaller safe inside of it. The smaller safe she said was very finicky, and had to opened with great care on the combination. That is where they kept the opioids.
