Also the funny(?) hypocrisy then (and now) of using drugs recreationally vs as a productivity tool. Morphine and opium was seen as degenerate, a threat to society, whereas pervitine was used by everyone as it increased productivity, and contributed to the societal machine.
See weed vs energy drinks, as argued in the article.

Started reading this book because of that one Current Affairs article ("A Society That Runs on Stimulants is Badly Broken"). I had heard that Hitler was a heavy drug user but didn't know the third reich at large was SO doped up. Needless to say, I can def see the correlation between fascist ideology and the need for stimulants to uphold that ideal.

Damn they really were souped up the whole damn time
