Opium has been used medicinally and
recreationally for centuries. Fifteenth century China doctors used opium
for medicine, with some using it recreationally. It was the first
effective antidepressant, sedative, and pain reliever. However, opium
addictions only began in the eighteenth century, when the British began to
monopolize the sale of opium. It is no coincidence that when the British,
with their chemical industry, began selling opium that these chemically altered
opiums began creating addictions. Completely natural, unadulterated
plants are not addictive until they have been “refined” and concentrated.
As a result of what the British did, opium eventually became illegal under
Chinese law, but the sale from the British continued.
In 1839, the Emperor, Tao Kwang,
ordered his minister Lin Tse-hsu to deal with the opium problem. Lin
requested help from Queen Victoria, but was ignored. As a result, the
Emperor confiscated 20,000 barrels of opium and detained some foreign traders,
many of whom were British. The Chinese believed that because their
ceramics and silk technologies were superior to their British counterparts that
their naval ships would also be. They were wrong. The British
retaliated to this interference with their drug (“medical”) trade by attacking
the port-city of Canton.
This was the beginning of what would
become known as the ‘First Opium War’. It was launched by the biggest,
richest drug cartel that the world has ever known; the British Empire.
When the Chinese were defeated, they had no choice but to sign the Treaty of
Nanjing in 1842. They were required to allow the trade of opium, to make
large payments to the British, and even to open five new ports to the foreign
drug (“medical”) trade. They were also forced to give Hong Kong to
Britain. Opium was, technically, still an illegal substance in China, but
the Chinese were forced to accept British imports.
In 1856, the Second Opium War began and
ended, with the Chinese being defeated once more. As a result, they were
forced to sign the Treaty of Tientsin, and the sale of opium was
legalized. The British claimed that the Chinese people had a “right” to
this “harmless luxury”, without regard to its own government. Opium
imports increased to unprecedented levels. By the end of the nineteenth
century, an estimated quarter of the male population of China was addicted to
the enhanced opium.
In the United States, many of the early
Americans cultivated their own opium. Thomas Jefferson cultivated opium at
his garden in Monticello. This fact is generally covered-up by modern
historians, who have the politically correct belief that all drugs are bad,
even in their harmless natural state, and that prohibition is the only option
of a healthy society.
Morphine was first isolated from opium
in 1805 by German pharmacist, Wilhelm Sertürner. It was named after
Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams. When opium products are taken orally,
they are known to cause stomach and digestive disturbances, so the invention of
the hypodermic needle in the mid-nineteenth century allowed direct injection of
morphine. The poor could not afford to inject drugs, so morphine was used
daily by the elite classes, and the cost of opium fell. It was also used
extensively on wounded soldiers in the U.S. Civil War. Incredibly, the
pharmaceutical companies not only promoted morphine as being non-addictive, but
to also cure opium addictions. Missionaries in the early twentieth
century handed out “Jesus Opium” pills in order to assist with addictions.
The active ingredient was morphine. Of course, this only created greater
addictions, which conveniently helped the chemical industry more.
In the mid-nineteenth Century, Chinese
immigrants had appeared in the United States in large numbers to help build
railways and work with California mines. Opium use had become a part of
their culture, and opium, along with the Chinese, were demonized as being
destructive to the youth. Dr. John Witherspoon, who would later become
president of the American Medical Association (AMA), told allopaths to search
for a cure for opium addictions, and a morphine alternative. The
alternative was to be non-addictive.
In 1874, an English pharmacist, C. R.
Alder Wright had boiled morphine and acetic acid together, producing
diacetylmorphine. Diacetylmorphine was synthesized and marketed
commercially by the German pharmaceutical giant, Bayer. In 1898, Bayer
launched the best-selling drug-brand of all time, Heroin.
Epilogue
When will we learn from history what to
expect from these people and their “helpful” chemical “improvements” upon
nature? You will see this identical pattern for all other illegal
narcotics, like for instance, cocaine. They created all of the addictive
drug monsters, and they got the results that they wanted. In fact, you
can technically still get a doctor’s prescription for cocaine, and even get it
filled at certain pharmacies. Will the public ever see the pattern?
The reason why diseases are never cured
with modern medicine is because curing is not as profitable as creating
life-long drug addicts. This is why all the diseases are “chronic” now,
and why the “medicines” seem only to perpetuate the diseases that they are
supposedly meant to “treat” (but never ever cure). The system is broken by design to keep us dependent.
Why do you think they “treat” cancer with extreme carcinogens like
radiation? Radiation must be one of the most safe and effective health
benefiting treatments, because they just cannot find that elusive cure, right?
The biggest difference between your
doctor and the local drug dealer is that the drug dealer is considerably more
honest about how he earns his money.
