These drugs were legal and freely available until ... Of course now that the worms must be put back into the can it will be discovered that purity and potency of the drugs today puts them into a different category than that which may have been used. I don't see the harm with beginning with a substance like marijuana which would probably be domesticly produced as a trial balloon. TP

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.
