All in my own interests. The more people who know
what is going on in the War on some Drug Users the better.
It used to be that all the illegal drugs were available
Over The Counter in various drug and other stores. In
the early days the State and City Governments made laws
against opium which weas smoked by coolies(hard painful
physical laborers). Then the White addicts from the various
wars with wounds that were painful were given morphine
by their doctors and went about their business. The
first Federal Law was the Harrison Narcotics Act which
created smugglers, drug dealers and the Junkies. That
was over 100 years ago. You could go into a store and
buy tincuture of cannabis to relieve your symptoms.
In 1937 the year of my birth Cannabis was outlawed and
the drug companies tried to replace it with barbituates
then later with tranquilizers.
But smugglers do not like to get caught so they
started to ship heroin which is very compact and these
later days Fentanyl which is even more compact. The
present drug crisis was triggered by the Ethical(Not)
Pharmeceutical companies with a new formulation which
was deliberately oversold. When the scripts for the
drugs ran out they went to the street deales who
sold first heroin and now Fentanyl.
The state has no real memory nor thought
but knee jerk reactions. The Prohibition of Alcohol
in the first part of the 20th Century otherwise
would have told them that Prohibition of Drugs
was a very bad policy.
bliss- who hopes that someone will subscribe
to the Drug War Chronicle when I am gone and continue
to post here and there so that naive readers of the truth.
