    Anyone who puts a upper like cocaine in his or her system is flat idiotic.

    Believe it or not, Cocaine was a legit medical drug used to cure sniffles in the nose back to the late 40's and sometimes used to cure the blues.

    Do they mind if you blow off loads? I currently blow off 2-4 loads a day and the boss man doesn’t say boo. In fact, he told me recently how glad him and his wife are to have me, even if I do where peculiar looking clothes.

    If you believe that, I need to speak to you about some prime ocean front property just outside Phoenix. Tonn was the biggest liar when Mr. A was alive, now that he has passed, Tonn doesn't have anyone to boot him in the arse.

    A form of heroin was also used in the 1800s for most everything. They even had baby doses on the bottle. So all our ancestors were dope fiends.

    Coca Cola originally had, of course, cocaine in it. Invented by two druggists.

    That is where the FDA came from.

    My grandparents kept drugs in a cabinet that is known as the special care box and some of those dated to that time. Laudanum for example. Used as a Keopectate of it's day, certainly a opiate.

    Im pretty sure they kept a few other things as well. I remember being treated out of that thing as a child long ago and some of those were probably the old drug derivatives which meant that whatever boo boo or throwup I was feeling went away right quick fro the rest of the day. A little dab makes a sick child really happy. (And quiet.)

    That's it. Laudanum. Yeah, my parents had the torture chest. Iodine for cuts and cod liver oil for what ails you. The pharmaceutical industry is just like everything else. Two rich guys, Vanderbilt and Carnagie had money invested in drug companies, so they bribed doctors to write lots of prescriptions. We are 5% of the world's population but take 75% of the drugs produced. During WWII, the Bayer factory was never touched by bombs.
