From 1994 and you're trying to depict it as modern day? For shame! That's almost 20 years old!

Who said anything about modern day? I believe I mentioned earlier in my comments that the effect of drugs on humans is the same for any period in history, be it a 19th century Chinese man, or a 21rst century American.

I did not represent the picture, or the linked article (from which I found the picture) as being modern. In my mind, the "when" factor is irrelevant. Human physiology has been pretty much the same for at least all of recorded human history. We still possess the same chemical receptors as did the Neanderthals.

In any case, I learned of the Platzspitz debacle from Listening to the Rush Limbaugh show back in 1994.

Then why didn't you state outright that the incident you depicted happened almost twenty years ago and why did you use a 2009 article talking about it? Surely there are older articles you could have used if you only wanted to "give the particulars".
You gave the impression that it was current day and unless somebody went to the site you linked to they would never know how old your picture was.
