Best Answer

Sherlock Holmes used a seven percent solution of cocaine quite often. And there is a questionable mention of opium use I discovered while reading the "The man with the twisted lip". Holmes was prescribed morphine by a physician after being wounded in "The Adventure of the Illustrious Client."

If you mean what ILLEGAL drug did Sherlock Holmes take, it was cocaine (a 7% solution).

------

Cocaine was a LEGAL drug in Victorian England. So was opium and morphine for that matter.

Cocaine. He was given morphine in 'The Adventure of the Illustrious Client' for the pain after he was wounded in a fight.
