 Welll Akshhhualy, The French were the first to synthesise heroin or “smack” in Marseilles in 1948 and is why the Vietnam war happened sooo… 
 Very interdast! Certainly 100 years late. I was using smack more broadly to encompass all opiumses: "Poppies for the puppies", as they say in France.  
 I’m just saying, They probably really were smoking some hectic smack. WW2 sucked.
