Reply to comment by Gemmabeta in TIL: Asthmador was an asthma treatment in the US in the 1950s. It was made up of 3 toxic/hallucinogenic compounds belladonna (atropine), stramonium (nightshade/jimson weed), and potassium perchlorate (oxidant commonly used in fireworks). One common delivery method for Asthmador - cigarettes! by Geek_Nan

Ammonium perchlorate is used in rocket fuel so if potassium perchlorate is anything like it then smoking a cigarette and letting one loose could land the patient on the moon.
