“Hey, we should totally go to that party. I heard heroin will be there!”

A party is always more fun with heroin!

By Bayer, the same company that invented the first artificial fertilizer and aspirin, as well as the gasses used in both WW1 and the holocaust. They can’t decide between making some of the best inventions of their time or some of the worst.

I mean they are all poisons, but they have therapeutic effects at the right doses and compounds.
heroin is the chemical basis for a few medications including one that helps with withdrawal from addictive drugs.
much of the gasses used for ☠️, were later reformulated for effective nerve numbing and Anesthesia for surgery.

its a reference to RFK JR, who was knee deep in heroin which caused his brain damage, of his already brain damage from getting parasites.

Say what you will about heroin, but it definitely works.

Reminds me of the UK show Quacks. Wish there was more than one series.

To be frank, the victorian approach to medicine bore Jack the Ripper. Perhaps some things cannot be medicated.

must have ghosts in their blood.

It’s actually blood letting. So arguably worse

You’ve got ghosts in your blood. Better do cocaine about it.

I imagine your circulatory system would be like a game of Pac-Man and the cocaine would give him the power pill. This seems easy, should I have been a doctor?
