Holmes was addicted to cocaine, tobacco, and morphine, I don't recall any mentions of heroin and he full out despised opium dens. Maybe the imagery of him injecting his seven-percent solution was just confusing.
Picture's red x'd out. But going by Kansan Entrails comment and the post subject....in the original Conan Doyle stories, Sherlock Holmes sometimes used a 7% solution of cocaine. It was considered a mild stimulant in the 1800's.
I think the more recent BBC tv series set in the present had a reference to Sherlock and heroin.
