on the History channel. Turns out practically all these drugs were used for thousands of years for medical purposes in an intelligent fashion, Misuse occurred at the about the turn of the 20th century, so rather than controlling the use of these drugs, they were simply made illegal and even avoided by the major legal drug companies and the AMA. Just makes a guy wonder if one of these drugs is all that is needed to fight off these terrible CH's and like the old times, would not be addictive if used strictly for pain. Perhaps the answers are in front of it, but the assholes that run this country are keeping us from this relief. But with all the reports on news programs about crooked politicians making big money off of illegal drugs, they would like to keep them illegal to secure their source of income. God doesn't make us suffer, but other people do.
