Abstract
Background and Aim: One of the social problems of the Safavid period was widespread addiction to opioids; the occurrence of deviations and social harms was considered one of its serious consequences. Although this phenomenon was considered common among common people and courtiers and each of them was affected by this disease in some way, it was more visible among the poets of this era. This research aims to investigate the causes of their tendency to drugs while investigating the use of opiates among the poets of the Safavid era.
Methods: This research has been carried out using a descriptive-analytical method, relying on library studies and referring to the written sources of the Safavid era, especially the tazkireh texts.
Ethical Considerations: In this research, honesty and trustworthiness in the use of historical sources have been fully respected.
Results: The findings of this research show that the use of various drugs such as opium, poppy, hemp, flonia, Kokonar, charas and barsh was widespread among the poets of the Safavid era, and many liked it. Death has taken place.
Conclusion: The results of this research show that the broad wave of poets' desire for drugs in the Safavid era was to strengthen their imagination to write their poems. This finding is strengthened when we know that the poetic style of the Safavid era was an Indian style that needed imagination in order to use far-fetched themes. In this way, it can be said that poets have looked at these materials as a tool to improve the quality of their work. In addition, the prohibition of intoxicants as a general factor has not been ineffective in this trend. However, the spread of this condition had created many problems for the health of these poets.
