Show Notes:
In this episode I tackle the history of one of the oldest drugs known to mankind. Opium has been around for many centuries. Opium was once touted as the miracle cure all. Governments around the world decided that they would infringe on the rights of the people by taking away their right to a "cure all". They did all of this while still fighting in the "Opium Wars". Just to have control over the opium trade.
