"Prior to the discovery and marketing of Salbutamol in the mid 60s, the most popular asthma inhalers were tubes of spiral paper that you inhaled from to deliver powder that was held within. The powder was amphetamine. It was speed." listen i know it wasn't real medicine in the inhaler but stephen king could feasibly have given eddie speed as a child in the book and thats buck fucking wild

just spent the last half an hour reading about this and yeah, damn. They used to treat asthma with amphetamine. They used to give it to fighter pilots in WW2 to stay awake during night raids on Nazis, and they gave that to people suffering asthma attacks holy shit

even if Eddie wasn’t getting speed through his inhaler he must’ve found someone pushing it in Derry somewhere, how else do you explain his behaviour in the ch2 flashback scene lmfao. PADDLE BAAAAAALLLLL
