Résumé
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 The first civilization produced the first medicine, which was opium. It was so powerful that ancient cultures believed it came from the gods. The money is in the seedpod, which contains a milky white liquid that hardens into a dark gum.#2 The Romans were also smitten with the opium poppy, which was emblazoned on their coins and honored by their god of sleep, Somnos. But they also understood that opium could be a powerful poison.#3 Americans also embraced liquid opium. It was a staple of the patent medicine craze, and was easily purchased over the counter. It was also used by many actors, gamblers, prostitutes, and criminals.#4 The Harrison Act, which was passed in 1914, made it illegal for doctors to prescribe narcotics to maintain an addiction. It would take almost a hundred years before doctors were held accountable for violating this law.
