Persians.

The Persians take the Juice of Opium in Pills, which heats their Brains, and makes them talk ridiculously: Also they make a Drink of boyl'd Poppy-seed, which they call Kokemaar, to make themselves merry. They have another Drink called Bongue, very bitter, made of the leaves of Hemp and some other Drug, which makes them shamefully foolish and ridiculous. Tavernter, l. 5. c. 18.
