Photographer Rusty Blaze Hoff recently shot a drug identification kit from the 1960s displaying commonly abused drugs of the era.

The kit includes faux heroin (Mexican and regular strength), all sorts of hallucinogens from peyote buttons to mescaline and amphetamines and barbiturates that are produced down to the exact color, size and shape as the real deal. As for the taste? Alas, we’ll never know…
