It was promoted for medical use, including as a cough suppressant, before its extraordinary addictive potential became fully understood and its legal status changed dramatically during the decades that followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is something almost impossible to reconcile about seeing the word \u003cstrong\u003eHeroin\u003c\/strong\u003e presented on pharmaceutical packaging bearing the name of a company that remains familiar today. It was this strange collision between branding, product design, and what we now know about the drug that became the original inspiration for The Apothecary Cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePrint supplied unframed.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/baxcoart.myshopify.com\/collections\/the-apothecary-cabinet\" title=\"The Apothecary Cabinet\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExplore The Apothecary Cabinet →\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BaxCo","offers":[{"title":"A3","offer_id":60363471946062,"sku":null,"price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A4","offer_id":60363471913294,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2","offer_id":60363471978830,"sku":null,"price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1065\/6674\/6446\/files\/BaxCoApothecarySeries01Heroin.jpg?v=1786782019","url":"https:\/\/baxcoart.myshopify.com\/products\/heroin","provider":"BaxCo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
