RE: Famous drug addicts in history

in #drugs7 years ago

Freud discovered cocaine after a pharmaceutical company paid him $24 to endorse their new wonder drug.

I'm not even going to Google it. That's so warped that it's got to be true.

Odd factoid: "Heroin" was a brand name.

Sort:  

The company that paid him is now a subsidiary of Pfizer. Truth is stranger than fiction, and funnier.

I find it hilarious that despite copyright laws Bayer still refuses to prosecute trademark infringement. I wonder which drugs on the market now will be completely disowned by the big pharma companies pushing them.
