What drug did Sherlock Holmes use?

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."


What was the setting for Sherlock Holmes' 'The Man With the Twisted Lip'?

An opium den Mrs. St Clair's house Dr. Watson's house the police station, the room above the opium den a cab


Does Sherlock Holmes smoke his pipe?

Sherlock Holmes smoked shag tobacco, kept in the toe of a Persian slipper in his pipe. He kept his cigars in the coal-scuttle. He also smoked cigarettes on occasion. He called a very difficult challenge a 'three pipe problem.' More correctly Sherlock Holmes smoked "Black Shag", Shag is the cut of the tobacco. Others Holmes may have smoked as they are in a recreation of Holmes study in England- Arcadian Mixture, Birdseye (Watson's favorite) Odd one was Honeydew ( Irish Style) offered to Holmes by Susan Cushing. He often smoked cigarettes when out and about, and once in a while he smoked a cigar. The pipe was reserved for smoking at home.


What jobs did Sherlock Holmes have other than a private investigator?

Homes Holmes came from a class of moneyed people who did not have to 'work' for a living. As he was a restless person who needed to 'do' something, he set out to solve crimes. However, if he didn't find an interesting case he indulged in opium dens, cocaine, science experiments & violin playing. Holmes older brother,Mycroft,was (by his own words) too lazy to do anything.
