Opium , Heroin and morphine all comes from the resin of the poppy plants.

Bayer first manufactured Heroin as a cure for TB and a remedy for Morphine Addiction.

Morphine was introduced as a cure for Opium as it was considered a less potent and supposedly “non-addictive” substitute—morphine. Morphine addiction soon became a bigger problem than opium addiction.

Then a solution was sought for morphine addiction and the morphine problem was solved by another “non-addictive” substitute—heroin, which proved to be even more addictive than morphine.

So a solution was sought for Heroin which was methadone. First developed in 1937 by German scientists searching for a surgical painkiller, it was exported to the US and given the trade name “Dolophine” in 1947. Renamed methadone, the drug was soon being widely used as a treatment for heroin addiction. Unfortunately, it proved to be even more addictive than heroin.

Cocaine is made from the leaves of the coca .Alfred Niemann extracted cocaine from the coca leaf in 1859. It briefly become popular with a widespread group of people and was even to be found in the coca cola drink until 1903. the drug got banned in 1922 almost 63 years after its creation.

The coca leaf and the habit of chewing it is mentioned in the book Pappilon where Pappilon used it to travel non stop and during the night.


And even Crystal Meth had its origins in the normal medicine cabinet. Until the 1950 meth was prescribed as a dieting drug and to fight depression. It was used in World War II in Japan for Kamikaze trips. It was declared illegal in 1970. I wonder what all the pharmacist was thinking of the frail mofo who wanted to use it for their diets . Lol.

Our last drug Ecstasy was also developed by dah germans Ecstasy or MDMA .created in 1912 by the Merck company it was sold legally under the name Ecstasy until 1985 when it was banned. Todays "Ecstasy" however has little MDMA in it and is mostly dangerous cocktails of drugs.

So in fact most commonly used drugs was created by medical companies until its banning when criminals took over production.
