> hello, chemist here....you ought to check the history books about cocaine criminalization, starting in 1903 in the u.s. and really taking root in great britain about a decade later. and cocaine is not illegal: it is a schedule II substance, available by prescription. if there is any racial/ethic bias, it was aimed at the chinese, not african-americans/africans...all the best, and i do look forward to the reference on gamma-butyric acid being deemed illegal by a nervous guy in oklahoma....can you please provide some citations? chemist
Hi Chemist -
I did see a program on the History channel about how white men were afriad blacks on cocaine leading to the illegality of the recreational use of cocaine - penned in 1914 as part of the Harrison Narcotics Act (which obviously mis-classified cocaine as a narcotic and not as a stimulant.). And my mistake about the Oklahoma and GHB - it was NDMA. They paid doctors to "fix" research studies that showed NDMA caused brain damage - which recently hve been debunked.
