      But they literally did have, well, not opioids, but opium.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium

      Evidence from ancient Greece indicates that opium was consumed in several ways, including inhalation of vapors, suppositories, medical poultices, and as a combination with hemlock for suicide.

      So no problem with pain medication, actually. @Etterra@lemmy.world
