Exactly. My drugs were weed and beer.(Early 70’s)And I don’t recall pills and stuff laying around the medicine cabinet other than bayer aspirin.
So, what happened? I don’t know but the group of scientists who invented the lethal combo? How did they not even know the possible long term effects of the drug? I mean, was the fact that acetaphetamine ate ones liver ever seriously contemplated? Whether it worked for the pain or not? There was no chance at a more palatable combo? How come the drug hasn’t evolved into something less addicting and dangerous if the ingredients are killing and addicting people? Why wait? Why aren’t they doing something about the Drug itself instead of bearing down on the doctors or the users? Why not have the FBI/FDA, whoever, talk to the dudes who created the monster in the first place?
I really don’t have a clue as to the answer to my questions. I don’t.
We had pills sometimes, but speed and sedatives. The oxycodones were marketed as “non-addictive”. Perdue Pharma lied and set up a marketing/sales operation of vast dimensions.
