Nicotine is actually making a comeback, as it’s a nutrient (not what the pharmaceutical companies want us to believe is a drug).
It’s actually in nightshades, the highest amount of it going to eggplant.
What are some drugs you think will make a comeback like qualewds or thai sticks or window pane? Does history always repeats itself apply to drugs?

Opium was a major problem in parts of history. Especially China/Silk Road times

Thai Sticks are probably still available in Thailand and still probably amazing. And in the 70s when Mexican ditchweed was all you’d find in North America, it was worth the peril to import the amazing stuff.
Nowadays, anyone with a light can grow equally amazing stuff. I would love to taste some real Thai herb, but it won’t get me more stoned than my homegrown. Thai smugglers are welcome to come to Manitoba and call my bluff, DM me baby.
Windowpane was more or less a marketing label on the same Shakedown Street sheets that made their way around the country in the wake of the Dead. They arrived up here via letters sent home. You can still get sheets but I have no idea who’s making em, probably dodgy Russian chemists whose families are held hostage…
I know almost nothing about ludes.

Knockoff ludes are popular south of the equator. Africa, Southeast Asia. No one makes a legitimate Quaalude anymore, so it’s all illicit production, mostly in India, iirc.
