Heroin was developed originally by Bayer and was used by German physicians in the early 1900’s.

“Heroin was developed originally by Bayer and was used by German physicians in the early 1900’s.”

Cocaine was promoted as a cure to morphine addiction in the 1870’s. At the time there were many Civil War vets who used morphine to control the pain from their war injuries. That worked out well...

This entire war on opioids is totally screwed up. Lots of people have intractable pain and there is nothing more effective or SAFER than prescription opioids to treat it. The law of supply and demand is now in effect. The supply of prescription opioids is being restricted so their cost has gone up. Heroin and fentanyl are less expensive alternatives than prescription opioids now but there is no quality control in their manufacture. The amount that got you high from last week’s score might be enough to kill you with the next score. What a mess.

Yes, I know that—and now it's a street drug...
