I think this is an immunization of sorts.
When was heroin used as an immunization exactly, that is news to me?
Of sorts? This is Frankenstein science of the same sort practiced by Hitler's Gestapo. Why not just gas the babies of undesireables and be done with it?
Heroin was developed as an antidote to opium addiction.
My point is that everytime we are told that a new cure for addiction has been found, it turns out to be a bigger problem than the original addiction.
If you're going to argue the benefits of anti addiction you should do your own research. Just Google drugs and 1912. That's a good starting point. Read the congressional testimony on the Marijuana Tax Act, 1934.
Conservatives opposed the Marijuana Tax Act. The American Medical Association opposed the Marijuana Tax Act. Every legitimate scientist in the country opposed the Marijuana Tax Act. It was pushed through over the objections of every Republican in congress as part of FDR's socialist program to save the downtrodden masses from the depression.
Only after the arrest of thousands of doctors across the country did the AMA make a deal with the Democrats to support the drug laws.
You will also read in the congressional testimony the promise that the drug act would not be used to prosecute anyone who grew and consumed their own marijuana. This was just a tax on commercial growers who sold across state lines.
In the drug act of 1912 you will read that the statistics used to show an opium addiction problem was taken from the records of civil war veterens, who did have a high addiction rate. Those statistics were outdated at the time they were used and just as phony as statistics used today.
Drug prohibition is a way for government to derive a perpetual income from the taxpayer. This war has been waged since 1912 and drug use has not declined at all even though this war has grown into the biggest war in human history.
Now, you want to let them play with the human brain?
Sorry, I forgot to add the Heroin info you asked for in my reply.
Heroin and Aspirin were two wonder drugs introduced by Bayer in 1898. According to Bayer, Heroin is ten times more effective as a cough medicine than Codeine, but has only a tenth of its toxic effects. It is also more effective than morphine as a painkiller. It is safe. It isn't habit forming. By 1914 Heroin was the drug of choice for cough
remedies and the treatment of opium and morphine addiction.
Heroin did not become one of the evil drugs until our first drug czar claimed it was being used, along with cocaine, by depraved black jazz musicians to seduce pretty young white girls.
Marijuana, it was claimed, was being used by dpraved Mexican wetbacks to seduce pretty young white girls.
The whole War on Drugs is based on the seduction of pretty young white girls. Even today, we see the pretty young white girls on TV ads telling us about the horrors of drug abuse.
The solution is simple. If we really want to get rid of drugs, lock up all pretty young white girls!
