Hey folks, as we appear to flow back into a more liberal minded take on substances to use/abuse in society, it seems a decent enough idea to take a look at where we've been before. Previous to the Harrison Narcotics Act in the states in 1914, questionable substances were promoted for all sorts of things. Co***ne in the Coke. He**in to help the kids sleep. O***m for more reasons than the cool kids in Mötley Crüe jackets down the street were doing it (I'm sure it wasn't o***m).
This answer may be easy, but it's worrisomely interesting to consider where we've been. Now you vote, Yea or Nay today????
