So that in the old days when people drank Coke and popped aspirin they were actually doing speed balls

A tiny amount of cocaine was indeed used in Coke but is was removed from the formula in 1903. I can't find any evidence that heroin was used in aspirin, but the two drugs were both both bayer products, invented around the same time. opioids.com/ heroin/ heroinhistory.html en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ Coca_cola#Coca_.E2.80.94_cocaine

No. Originally when coke came out they thought that was the case, but it turned out to be false. It was actually tried to prohibit Coke because of it....then it wasn't the case. There was a time when if you put an asperin in a coke you could get some kind of buzz....but they changed the formula so it couldn't be done....just remember that in my teens.
