The Swill Milk Scandal of the 19th century poisoned thousands of babies every year, and its exposure eventually (after much political and corporate interference) helped pave the way to Congress passing the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906. atlasobscura.com/articles…

You Voted For It, but, Remember when the 1906 Pure Foods and Drugs act was so obverted due to an act of congress, "inspired," by an obviously accidental tragedy that with 'virtually' every low volume high margin commodity as outlawed as the Soviets Hunter Thompson could say he wrote it for laughs??

I think that the Drug War=ANTIVAX, that it's equally confusing cause/effect; I think that the current paradigm is an absolutely Obvious Obverse of the Pure Foods and Drugs Act, and I'm Curious If You Also Think that an eradication ban on Methamphetamine might have already cost lives due to COVID-19

That's really the question, right there; I've been looking into whether there are any smoking guns suggesting that either,

A. The Dropped Gold Standard/British Denarii Money in 1971 played any role in the Nixon Administration's Decisions, because I know that either this did,https://harpers.org/archive/2016/04/legalize-it-all/....or that did, "and also..." The fun thing about time moving forward, is, how easily we can now describe that Opium Ban of 1875 as, "oh, o.k., they want to ban a chemically mediated cultural experience, because, they're trying to prevent their women from experiencing Kama Muta across racial lines; that's why they killed Billie Holiday, and I know that isn't well known, I didn't know it until recently- just like I didn't know about this guy who, irrc, got promoted to the person in charge of my town's opiate epidemic thanks to this fiasco; you know? This Has To Stop, This has to stop I have lost too many friends- friends who have suffocated to death, alone, when anybody else in the room with them could have saved them but they were too afraid that everyone they know, or who could, wouldn't love them anymore and that mattered more to them than death; that's horrible, it haunts me.

Or, pardon, B,

B. The obversion of the Pure Foods and Drugs Act was done deliberately to reverse engineer the British Opiate Sales out of Hong Kong, and/or rangle the Doctors and Pharmacists, who were, once, relatively (and politically) free Agents into a management structure, "like everybody else."

Get it?

Small towns, especially, you've got Doctors, Lawyers, Pharmacists making Bourgeoisie money loose-goosey and Attorneys aren't so free if all their clients all got bosses; I'm not expecting to find anything hidden, it's more like...I suspect that if either of these things are true, nobody would have been especially quiet about it, back then, probably not even quiet at all; they would have just fucking said so.

Anyway, you know what I think?

I think that Doctors can push for this fucking thing to end, NOW, and I think that if-at-all o

in 1906, The Pure Food and Drugs Act passed by a landslide in Congress, and Theodore Roosevelt signed the bill into law. Between 1879 & 1906 though, over 200 legislative proposals had entered Congress & were consistently rejected. What factors led to this drastic change in attitude in 1906?

Here's my source for the 200 legislative proposals number: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1646146/pdf/amjph00277-0020.pdf
