Yes, Edison was a regular user of Vin Mariani, and commended its stimulating effects, claiming it helped him stay awake for longer hours.
Vin Mariani contained cocaine, assorted coca alkaloids, and ethyl alcohol.
He is also known to have kept morphine, strychnine, and opium at his personal residence in Menlo Park, and although it is not known whether he used them personally, he is known to have supplied them to others for use.

∙ 12y agoI have read that he smoked cigars and liked whiskey, but eventually abstained from smoking and drinking because, with the former, his sister asked him to after she was hospitalized and, in the case of whiskey, because of prohibition.
