Hi Link,
>I could have been somebody.
You ARE somebody Link, I have read many of your *intelligent* posts in recent times.
>Perhaps 200 years from now, they'll see these medications as the scourge that they are.
Right allong the lines of crack heroin, and cocaine.It's funny that you say that because diamorphine (heroin) is a valuable analgesic. In England, it has an important role in the treatment of severe intractable pain. Diamorphine is damaging when it is misused. When used medicinally, the toxicity of diamorphine is much lower that you would expect. It is somewhat better tolerated than morphine.
Kind regards,
Ed.
