I know it sounds wild but this factoid and the Coca Cola company have quite a bit to do with the US government attitude towards the coca leaf and its legal status.

#73When I was in Peru coca tea was available everywhere for literally pennies. It is legal in most of South America. It doesn't even get you high it just sort of helps with elevation sickness. This seems to upset US politicians from time to time and cause diplomatic spats, they were adamant against the sale of it despite it being traditional in that part of the world. Punitive about it. Now it is legal in Canada and not…
Cocaine is legal and schedule II here in the United States already. As is methamphetamine. https://www.lannett.com/products/numbrino/ https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2007/00...

VICE is a tabloid masquerading as an investigative journalism outlet

Even if I could do that today, I wouldn't. Those sandwiches always look suspect.

#77Good grief, the media is really running with this lol. "scientific and medical purposes only"
oxycotin, which is opium, should only be used for medical purposes. Yet somehow pharmaceuticals got doctors to prescribe until we have an opioid crisis in the US.
Oxycontin is not opium, it is a semisynthetic opioid that is not found in opium. It is a modified version of codeine
