And thus, halucinagens would be a new weapon of sorts.

For crime and control, in some areas, food and water would be the controling mechanism. And then imagine food that is contaminated, sure radioactive food but what about the wheat or grain fungus ergot? They say that is what saved Rome from the Huns. The Huns grain was contaminated with ergot which is a halucinagen. So, imagine a warlord or similiar who purposely puts food on the market, or lets it get "captured" and the enemy ends up poisoned and tripping and then ill.

Further, more drug talk;

What about drugs that would be need and can be made in small labs or from what we now consider modern street drugs with modification or further refinement.

Opiates that we have talked about. Morphine but I would also see lodiumum returning as well.

Vitamin tablets, powder or drops would be something of importance. Citric Acid or vegetable oil, or even drops of some form of juice, or even a vegetable extract in vinegar to combat disease like scurvy, beri beri etc.

Antibiotics would take more work but could be done in a garage or besement lab. Certainly a highschool science class.

Aspirin and similiar; these work wonders for reducing fevers and would save thousands as they already have saved millions.

Decongestants which are similiar meth, remember, meth is made from regular cond medicines that are refined and reduced. So, we need the basic ingredients to turn into meth which are chemicals ie, medicines. But I know some herbal and similiar things that will act as a stimulant, these range from coffee to some foods. Such things could possibly help in place of asthama meds, or epinephrine due to say an allergic reaction.

So, what other meds can or would be able to be made in a small scale laboratory? And herbal stuff can be a totaly different topic.
