Louis Lewin's _Phantastica: A Classic Survey on the Use and Abuse of
Mind-Altering Plants_ (Rochester, Vermont: Park Street Press, 1998)
could be useful.  The book is a reprint of a 1924 work by a prolific
pharmacologiest.  Lewin is basically summarizing his work from the
1880s.  He covers opium, chloral, cocaine, heroin, morphine, hashish,
alcohol, kava-kava, coffee, tobacco, arsenic, and lots of other
substances that he classifies as euphorica (mental sedatives),
phantastica (hallucinating substances), inebriantia, hypnotica
(soporifics), and excitatia.
