SummaryTextThis article analyses Sherlock Holmes's cocaine use within its late nineteenth-century medical context, arguing that Arthur Conan Doyle's portrayal was unusually accurate and prescient regarding addiction and relapse. It contrasts contemporary professional approval of cocaine with Watson's clinical warnings, presenting the stories as an early and remarkably modern commentary on substance abuse.
