Polish researchers have suggested that Germanic people of Northern Europe living outside of the Roman Empire used stimulants during war.

The findings challenge the notion that only Mediterranean civilizations used narcotics in antiquity.

Ancient Greeks and Romans used narcotics such as opium, but there is no clear evidence to suggest that their contemporaries also engaged in this consumption.
