If cocaine and amphetamine (seperately) were available in beverages in small doses, what might those doses be either in historical reference or alter corresponding with how caffeine is used currently? (sopuli.xyz)

Things like the original "original" Coca-Cola and Vin Mariani. I wish they had kept the lithium citrate in 7Up :/

Probably on an equipotent basis like general awakeness, stimulation, inabillity to sleep

According to Wikipedia, Coke had 9mg of caffeine in a glass. That’s like 1/4 of a small recreational dose today, but it was presumably purer than most street drugs today

What was the cocaine or like coca extract equivalent content (setting the distinction between serotonin/norepinephrine/dopamine reuptake inhibitor vs adenosine antagonist aside)? Like yes it had caffeine from kola nut or something but in terms of cocaine?

Sorry I meant cocaine not caffeine
