Our Grandparents' Pharmacy - Heroin, Cocaine, Rattlesnake Oil, Electricity
Drug overdose deaths in the US are estimated to have been around 59,000 in 2016 and addiction is on the rise. But drug addiction and resulting deaths have always been a part of our history... Cocaine, heroin, opium, alcohol, marijuana . . . our grandparents used all of these to cure their illnesses - often unknowingly. Addiction isn't new: medicines weren't usually patented (no one wanted to share the ingredients) - and they weren't regulated, either. Seeing is believing - take a look at some of these "cures" and where they were sold!
