    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.

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

    It's actually blood letting. So arguably worse
