Listening to the Sawbones podcast about old medical poo poo is fun. Turns out when the medicine makes things feel preeeeeeetty good, then it's easy to say that it's working.

"Olden days" lol. Notice how those pills are green? They called 'em "Greenies." Baseball didn't ban them until 2006 and there are people still upset by that ban.

For some reason, which I'm sure is just a total coincidence, MLB players have over double the national ADHD rate treated with amphetamines. :thunk:

It was an amazing time. No worries about addiction. The opium isn't working well anymore? No problem, just take more. Eventually it will stop your heart, but right up until that moment everything is great.

My dad was pre-law in a college in the 70s, he lived in a dorm that was mixed pre-med and pre-law. He said during finals time, you'd just buy greenies for a nickel per pill from the med students, get lit the gently caress up, cram all night, take the final, and forget everything you studied three days later.

This dude is currently faking his own death because he's a sex offender and claiming to be a British man that he is not. He is from Rhode Island. Like I thought, oh this is one of those deals where they are cutting an unrelated interview with a sketch comedian but no this was on Dateline.
