- What few people realize is that the world's greatest fictional detective had drug addictions. It was his failing health that made Dr. John Watson necessary to be around him all the time. Cocaine and morphine were the drugs of choice for Sherlock. However, both of these were legal in Holmes' time. Movies and television shows based on Sherlock Holmes play down or ignore completely this important quirk.
Sherlock's author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
