re:"These drugs were legal and freely available until the Food and Drug Act in 1913 and the Republic survived the preceding 124 years."

Of course, antibiotics, cancer medications, blood products, cardiac medications (except maybe asprin) didn't exist. In those good old days, Coca Cola was advertised as a medication, and contained cocaine. Cough medicines would sometimes contain opiates...wonderful.

Before the world found the HIV virus, thousands of hemophilliacs caught AIDS. Now we know, and the government mandates blood products be screened. I kind of like it that way.
