People are "forgetting" that because it's just not true.


So all the "patent" medicines that contained opium and assorted were illegal?
The early opium dens in Calif. in the 1800s?

Please don't tell me Freud and Jung drove down to the corner?
Your reply makes no sense in relation to my statement.


I'm trying here. I assumed you were disagreeing that many drugs that are now illegal were once legal.

Is your argument instead that illegality resulted from other reasons than drug's harm to people/society?
