“Soothing Syrup” was a term used for children’s morphine tinctures. And you can see why, mothers with multiple kids and an infant teething would love the soothing effects of morphia, just as now mothers use melatonin and Benadryl as artificial aids to get children soothed and quiet. After all, once you are born, life is pretty uncomfortable. It’s bright, it’s loud, it’s cold, and you start cutting teeth and having to use your stomach and intestines to get nourishment. It’s effing awful! Not to mention once you start having to defecate! Peeing is effortless.
Except those parents who use melatonin and benadryl to "soothe" their children are usually abusing it. Benadryl is to calm histamine, not for sleep. Using it for sleep on children is abusing the drug. Melatonin is only for sleep, but I've seen an increase in mothers switching their children's gummies with melatonin ones during the day, which is abusing the drug. Doesn't make it right just because people use different things now.
I would like to hear about soldiers that got addicted to morphine. And soldiers in Vietnam that were addicted to heroin. I can't imagine fighting a war going through opiate withdrawal, but I'm sure it wasn't in ill supply over in Nam.
A bad withdrawl would look similar to malria and with luck would wind you up in the sick bay. Also I think it was so prevalent that getting sick wasnt really a thing unless you're out on menuvers and somehow lose your stash but yea yea being in the middle of the nugle surrounded by people trying to kill you dopesick sounds damn bad.
Opium in wars nothing new, aparts from being over stretched in resources, Alexander the Great forces got hooked on opium in India. That is when his campaign started to fail when he was getting into Afghanistan.
The funny thing is the statistics show and prove that drugs weren't abused as badly as they are now being as everything was legalized. People who had issues with things were treated as if it were a medical condition. When drugs had a stigma attached and were made illegal is when we as a society began to have massive issues with drugs as a whole. It's also that people with addictions were suddenly treated as criminals rather than patients.
And look how that's worked out banning them! Drug deaths at record levels violent gangs controlling the supply making good knows how much profit, murders the war on drugs has failed miserably it's the vulnerable addicts who more often than not have severe trauma and or mental health issues that suffer! Alcohol is the worst drug there is a literal poison only drug to damage every organ in the body and the withdrawal can kill yet it's legal! Look how probation worked out! Gangs moved in to supply the demand. Yet the government cuts addiction services year after year I say legalize and treat it as the health problem it is!
I love this script, because it's being read by a native English speaker, but sounds like it was written by somebody who, while 100% fluent in English, has never used any drugs or met any Americans or Englishmen. "Yes, the Germans had Reefer Madness. They sought out the stickiest of the icky."
Secondly, analgesia had indeed changed greatly by the time of World War 1. Aspirin was first synthezized in the mid-19th century and was arguably made a blockbuster drug by the Bayer company, also famous contemporarily for the blockbuster drug "Heroin" (Diacetyl Morphine). These facts just seem hard to miss.
@@jannishansoonn that is so amazing to me. I was a heroin addict in the US and now I take methadone daily. I'm just as addicted to methadone as I ever was to heroin. Just one is legal and one isn't. I would much rather get heroin daily. Strange, these laws.
@@dustine4184 it’s perfect. 100% clean and I can get 3 syringes a day. Up to 300mg per dose. Best „substitute“ I ever had. Life feels like life..methadon messed with my brain too much. I still hope that I can live without it sometime.. maybe it’s gonna get legal where you are based. Hopefully!
@@jannishansoonn That’ll never happen because of all the Evangelicals in government. We do everything backwards here. We still treat addiction like it’s a crime because those who own for-profit prisons can’t make money if the beds aren’t full. So we lock up those who should be getting help instead.
I'm guessing he did it to avoid being demonetized. Saying cocaine is probably cause for that. His "slang" shows that he has probably never partaken of coke, or if he did it was probably a one off at a party where someone else brought it. I used to be addicted to the stuff, and I've never heard anyone call it "snow white", "taxi", or "aunt (whatever the fuck)" at all. Like I said, dude probably did it to avoid demonetization and just googled some "slang" for cocaine that nobody actually says

If you are in really severe pain, morphine is still the only thing that will relieve the suffering. It dosen't make the pain go away completely but it is kind of like having a great wodge of cotton wool between you & the pain.
I couldn't imagine trying to come down in a war zone though. That would be so horrible it would probably be better to just face the situation sober lol
Yeah Gabriel. Agreed. And I say that is basically what happened to the nazi’s in the next war. Their entire army and country at large were on amphetamine pills. I have read that during their push through the Soviet Union, they became scarce and rationed. Eventually unavailable. Imagine being on speed and kicking ass for two years…but not eating and sleeping the best to say the least… and you run out of speed just as your unit gets bogged down outside moscow…. Winter just began. I don’t want any part of any bankers war, but I definitely don’t want any part of that situation.
I love how i clicked on this to get some good historical information and the first thing out of the guys mouth is the wrong dates. Beautiful. 1914 to 1918 guys. They even have a day to remember it. Armistice day, November the 11th.

Then they get their money and feel powerful at the same time.
I'm not with you. Right now, I'm drinking red wine, but when I get drunk and hurt anyone because I'm intoxicated, it's not right. So, drugs ok, but not when it leads to addiction causing stealing, lying, and violent behaviour etc. Do you get my point?
We co evolved with drug use for the past 300000 years. ALC, weed, shrooms, opium. Nicotine, caffeine, coca, sugar, fat, Rx were commercially weaponized a little later. Weed was a major part in Jewish and early xtianity. Every ancient altar in the region is covered with THC. The Romans took Judeaa to control the drug trade and pricing.and distribution of opium and weed..
@@ducomaritiem7160 prosecute people for those crimes they commit, like with alcohol. But keep all substances legal for the responsible users, like alcohol. I'm sure there's plenty of people who can smoke meth like a gentleman.
Baby teething pain drops was called paregoric.... it was around till about 1982. It contained opium. You'd put a little on your finger put it on babies tooth and everybody got more sleep. It's a shame a few had to ruin it for the many.BECAUSE IT WORKED!!!!
Psychologically speaking. I can make a great argument that alcohol and drugs are a necessity for soldiers in bulk, trained to be in trenches in large numbers, with a simply Goliath task and goal as too charge an enemy when the whistle blows. For a person to endure that type of brutality, day in and day out. One would only prey for a substance, so too for them to say at the very least, too themselves, that they were under the influence of whatever during that time. So to preserve any humanity within them, left over after the war.
This is just a lesson in how the state sucks and anyone working for it, might as well be working for Satan or pure evil... whichever mythos you prefer.

The Incan warriors used coca leaf and maca powder when they went on raids. They had to have a detox cool down in a special grotto before they could come back home. It would be interesting if you could find info about what these raids were like.
I wonder what the difference in potency between cocaine and coca leaf is. And it's absolutely fascinating to know they had a special place to go to come down from their presumed high.
@@tonyoliver2167 Well from what I have learned about it I would say that Coca leaf is much less potent than the extract. The leaf is much less immediate but it still can be pretty powerful. There is a video where some white guy is in South America and he drinks coca tea. Watch him geek out if the video is still up. Also, have you ever tried maca powder? Don't eat it raw whatever you do. That stuff is amazing. I don't think that the high is just presumed.

Ah the good ole days when you could just go to the drug store and actaully buy drugs. If only we could get our heads out of our asses and see this is clearly the way it should still work. To anyone disagreeing know drugs can be found fairly easily in every town in the US. However legit drugs made by companies with standards, reputations to uphold and the threat of litigation should the drug companies do any of the multitude of things black market dealers do would not happen as it's an unneccessary risk and threat to thier profitablility. Also it'd go a very long way to reduce drug deaths and related injuries. Not to mention free up at least 2/3 of the prision population, get rid of the DEA, the selfrightous microtyrants who work there believing thier personal opinon justfies ruining other poeple's lives (or just lcose to be a thug for the biggest gang in town) and also virtually eradicate gangs and cartels (gangs and carels simply can't survive without drug profits to bring in fresh soldiers to fight the drug war).

Honestly, after watching so many documentaries and reading so many books of the treatment of veterans in the US it just doesn't feel right to be in the military, or to support anything for it. I truly wish those who had suffered through service can find real solutions to help them through life when they longer have to fear for thier life. This sentiment doesn't strictly pertain to just my country and just to my countrymen, but to all who had to or have to serve.
There is, quite sadly, a great need for decent men to serve in the military, though none of us have not paid a price for it. We MUST have a military or be slaves to evil men. That should be obvious. Most suffer in silence, but they have done it for people like you.
It’s a persons destiny to be involved with the military. Mars is very prominent in all of them. Many of them seemed to just be fodder for the front lines in WW1 as they look small and vulnerable beyond.
A lot of the information here is wrong. However, they began to be concerned around 1916. They were not concerned about the drugs, but the soldiers using them without a script.
The war on drugs and drug prohibition is an infringement on freedom and causes huge amounts of damage. It will also never be won. Most or all drugs should be legalised everywhere. Prohibition was a huge mistake. You should maybe cover this in a video.
Drug prohibition has caused far more harm and death than drugs ever did. Maybe you should cover the horrors of the “war on drugs”. Unless you’re too scared to rock the boat.
Me saying what i did about meth may get people to believe i would believe different but i do agree drug prohibition has caused far more harm death than the drugs themselves ever did. People crave more for what they cannot have. and it should be an individual choice though many lack the ability to make good choices.
@@russellmiller6023 it’s not even like there isn’t a middle ground. Portugal decriminalised possession of all drugs for personal use but that doesn’t make them Amsterdam-like pseudolegal, they can still confiscate the drugs and while you can’t be jailed you _can_ be ordered into addiction rehabilitation courses by the court. They treat it as a public health problem, not a criminal problem. Now I do personally believe that drug use should be a personal choice so I don’t _100%_ agree with Portugal’s approach, but A) they have a far lower rate of drug related problems like overdosing, and B) it’s not like the only alternative to a “war on drugs” is “socialist free heroin for every schoolchild”.

Any drug that makes you feel better is going to end up being addictive. Not sure if anything stronger than acetaminophen or ibuprofen will ever be non addictive, by nature.
They have. There's one called Tramadol which works quite well and is much less addictive than the other opiates, it is also an opiate. There's plenty out there, they just keep using the super addictive ones because it's about money of course.
@@yoursafeplace8476 trust me, tramadol still gets you high, if it was plentiful and the only option people would be addicted to it. People just need to accept that people have a right to do drugs that make them feel good, because they always will.

Fascinating subject you could discuss Pervitin’s use by the Nazis in WW 2 as well as the Japanese use of amphetamines for its kamikaze pilots. Even today US airforce pilots get given amphetamines to keep them alert and it was the basis for the defence of the pilot during the Iraq war that mistakenly bombed a Canadian regiment performing exercises at night despite being told 3-4 times to not engage by his flight controller. Also the testing of LSD on UK and IS troops would be a good one to do.
While everybody is pointing out the various mistakes. It may be worth mentioning the word 'Opioids' 3mins 12....I think this should be 'Opiates ' . An Opioid is a synthetic drug which is not extracted via Opium poppy..
Yeah we are so “advanced” in everything now.. We know about morphine and dont give it to babies.. But would you say the current generations are better than the Greatest generation?

Exactly. It’s ridiculous.

This old news to alot of people..

“Soothing Syrup” was a term used for children’s morphine tinctures. And you can see why, mothers with multiple kids and an infant teething would love the soothing effects of morphia, just as now mothers use melatonin and Benadryl as artificial aids to get children soothed and quiet. After all, once you are born, life is pretty uncomfortable. It’s bright, it’s loud, it’s cold, and you start cutting teeth and having to use your stomach and intestines to get nourishment. It’s effing awful! Not to mention once you start having to defecate! Peeing is effortless.
its lean
Dopeage
🤦♂️
Except those parents who use melatonin and benadryl to "soothe" their children are usually abusing it. Benadryl is to calm histamine, not for sleep. Using it for sleep on children is abusing the drug. Melatonin is only for sleep, but I've seen an increase in mothers switching their children's gummies with melatonin ones during the day, which is abusing the drug. Doesn't make it right just because people use different things now.

I find this type of thing so interesting. I love the old packaging on the cigarettes/medicines/rations/ammo etc
I would like to hear about soldiers that got addicted to morphine. And soldiers in Vietnam that were addicted to heroin. I can't imagine fighting a war going through opiate withdrawal, but I'm sure it wasn't in ill supply over in Nam.
A bad withdrawl would look similar to malria and with luck would wind you up in the sick bay. Also I think it was so prevalent that getting sick wasnt really a thing unless you're out on menuvers and somehow lose your stash but yea yea being in the middle of the nugle surrounded by people trying to kill you dopesick sounds damn bad.
My father who fought in Vietnam said he used to buy pre rolled opium joints for $1 each.
Opium in wars nothing new, aparts from being over stretched in resources, Alexander the Great forces got hooked on opium in India. That is when his campaign started to fail when he was getting into Afghanistan.
The funny thing is the statistics show and prove that drugs weren't abused as badly as they are now being as everything was legalized. People who had issues with things were treated as if it were a medical condition. When drugs had a stigma attached and were made illegal is when we as a society began to have massive issues with drugs as a whole. It's also that people with addictions were suddenly treated as criminals rather than patients.
And look how that's worked out banning them! Drug deaths at record levels violent gangs controlling the supply making good knows how much profit, murders the war on drugs has failed miserably it's the vulnerable addicts who more often than not have severe trauma and or mental health issues that suffer! Alcohol is the worst drug there is a literal poison only drug to damage every organ in the body and the withdrawal can kill yet it's legal! Look how probation worked out! Gangs moved in to supply the demand. Yet the government cuts addiction services year after year I say legalize and treat it as the health problem it is!
I love this script, because it's being read by a native English speaker, but sounds like it was written by somebody who, while 100% fluent in English, has never used any drugs or met any Americans or Englishmen.

Secondly, analgesia had indeed changed greatly by the time of World War 1. Aspirin was first synthezized in the mid-19th century and was arguably made a blockbuster drug by the Bayer company, also famous contemporarily for the blockbuster drug "Heroin" (Diacetyl Morphine). These facts just seem hard to miss.
When I was a kid in the early sixties you could buy Vick's Formula 44 w/CODEINE cough medicine OVER THE COUNTER!

@@jannishansoonn that is so amazing to me. I was a heroin addict in the US and now I take methadone daily. I'm just as addicted to methadone as I ever was to heroin. Just one is legal and one isn't. I would much rather get heroin daily. Strange, these laws.
@@dustine4184 it’s perfect. 100% clean and I can get 3 syringes a day. Up to 300mg per dose. Best „substitute“ I ever had. Life feels like life..methadon messed with my brain too much. I still hope that I can live without it sometime.. maybe it’s gonna get legal where you are based. Hopefully!
@@jannishansoonn That’ll never happen because of all the Evangelicals in government. We do everything backwards here. We still treat addiction like it’s a crime because those who own for-profit prisons can’t make money if the beds aren’t full. So we lock up those who should be getting help instead.

@@jannishansoonn Morphine exists naturally in the opium poppy. Heroin is much more work to create.
Besides getting the date wrong it was a good video 👌
We were never told about this side of the war in history lessons at school... I wonder why 🙂
Perhaps it’s because the subject of the narcotics used at the time isn’t important to the history of the war as a whole?
There's only so much time in school it's not important enough details.
They are to busy pushing communism thats why.
The fact he said every drugs technical name besides "snow white" shows he has had some wild weekends we probably dont wanna know about.
And Smack.
He also called it “taxi” and “blow” lol
Demonization
I'm guessing he did it to avoid being demonetized. Saying cocaine is probably cause for that. His "slang" shows that he has probably never partaken of coke, or if he did it was probably a one off at a party where someone else brought it. I used to be addicted to the stuff, and I've never heard anyone call it "snow white", "taxi", or "aunt (whatever the fuck)" at all. Like I said, dude probably did it to avoid demonetization and just googled some "slang" for cocaine that nobody actually says

For real.
If you are in really severe pain, morphine is still the only thing that will relieve the suffering. It dosen't make the pain go away completely but it is kind of like having a great wodge of cotton wool between you & the pain.
yes it is merciful relief
My man’s said Snow White like a million times
Yeah it seems to me that the choice between watching the horrors of warfare sober vs. high ...is about the easiest choice for a soldier to make
agreed i don’t do any drugs (only smoked weed for a few years but just quit) but if i had to fight in WW2 or WW1 i would probably do some drugs
I couldn't imagine trying to come down in a war zone though. That would be so horrible it would probably be better to just face the situation sober lol
Yeah Gabriel. Agreed. And I say that is basically what happened to the nazi’s in the next war. Their entire army and country at large were on amphetamine pills.
I have read that during their push through the Soviet Union, they became scarce and rationed. Eventually unavailable.

I love how i clicked on this to get some good historical information and the first thing out of the guys mouth is the wrong dates. Beautiful. 1914 to 1918 guys. They even have a day to remember it. Armistice day, November the 11th.
I'm all for Consumption of any kind. What people put in their bodies are their business. I don't smoke, but I support anyone who does because it's their business, I don't drink, but anyone who drinks is their business.

Then they get their money and feel powerful at the same time.

I'm not with you. Right now, I'm drinking red wine, but when I get drunk and hurt anyone because I'm intoxicated, it's not right. So, drugs ok, but not when it leads to addiction causing stealing, lying, and violent behaviour etc.

@@ducomaritiem7160 your opinion thankfully!
We co evolved with drug use for the past 300000 years. ALC, weed, shrooms, opium. Nicotine, caffeine, coca, sugar, fat, Rx were commercially weaponized a little later. Weed was a major part in Jewish and early xtianity. Every ancient altar in the region is covered with THC. The Romans took Judeaa to control the drug trade and pricing.and distribution of opium and weed..
@@ducomaritiem7160 prosecute people for those crimes they commit, like with alcohol. But keep all substances legal for the responsible users, like alcohol. I'm sure there's plenty of people who can smoke meth like a gentleman.
Baby teething pain drops was called paregoric.... it was around till about 1982. It contained opium. You'd put a little on your finger put it on babies tooth and everybody got more sleep. It's a shame a few had to ruin it for the many.BECAUSE IT WORKED!!!!
@@bartbullock7817 It's main use was for severe diarrhea under the name donnagel and simply "tincture of opium".
Psychologically speaking. I can make a great argument that alcohol and drugs are a necessity for soldiers in bulk, trained to be in trenches in large numbers, with a simply Goliath task and goal as too charge an enemy when the whistle blows. For a person to endure that type of brutality, day in and day out. One would only prey for a substance, so too for them to say at the very least, too themselves, that they were under the influence of whatever during that time. So to preserve any humanity within them, left over after the war.
Alcohol is a hardcore drug, harder than morphine.

The Incan warriors used coca leaf and maca powder when they went on raids. They had to have a detox cool down in a special grotto before they could come back home. It would be interesting if you could find info about what these raids were like.
I wonder what the difference in potency between cocaine and coca leaf is. And it's absolutely fascinating to know they had a special place to go to come down from their presumed high.
@@tonyoliver2167 Well from what I have learned about it I would say that Coca leaf is much less potent than the extract. The leaf is much less immediate but it still can be pretty powerful. There is a video where some white guy is in South America and he drinks coca tea. Watch him geek out if the video is still up. Also, have you ever tried maca powder? Don't eat it raw whatever you do.

Ah the good ole days when you could just go to the drug store and actaully buy drugs. If only we could get our heads out of our asses and see this is clearly the way it should still work. To anyone disagreeing know drugs can be found fairly easily in every town in the US. However legit drugs made by companies with standards, reputations to uphold and the threat of litigation should the drug companies do any of the multitude of things black market dealers do would not happen as it's an unneccessary risk and threat to thier profitablility. Also it'd go a very long way to reduce drug deaths and related injuries. Not to mention free up at least 2/3 of the prision population, get rid of the DEA, the selfrightous microtyrants who work there believing thier personal opinon justfies ruining other poeple's lives (or just lcose to be a thug for the biggest gang in town) and also virtually eradicate gangs and cartels (gangs and carels simply can't survive without drug profits to bring in fresh soldiers to fight the drug war).

Honestly, after watching so many documentaries and reading so many books of the treatment of veterans in the US it just doesn't feel right to be in the military, or to support anything for it. I truly wish those who had suffered through service can find real solutions to help them through life when they longer have to fear for thier life. This sentiment doesn't strictly pertain to just my country and just to my countrymen, but to all who had to or have to serve.
There is, quite sadly, a great need for decent men to serve in the military, though none of us have not paid a price for it. We MUST have a military or be slaves to evil men. That should be obvious. Most suffer in silence, but they have done it for people like you.
It only gets worse if your country loses the war in question. It can have consequences spanning generations.

Me saying what i did about meth may get people to believe i would believe different but i do agree drug prohibition has caused far more harm death than the drugs themselves ever did. People crave more for what they cannot have. and it should be an individual choice though many lack the ability to make good choices.
@@russellmiller6023 it’s not even like there isn’t a middle ground. Portugal decriminalised possession of all drugs for personal use but that doesn’t make them Amsterdam-like pseudolegal, they can still confiscate the drugs and while you can’t be jailed you _can_ be ordered into addiction rehabilitation courses by the court. They treat it as a public health problem, not a criminal problem. Now I do personally believe that drug use should be a personal choice so I don’t _100%_ agree with Portugal’s approach, but A) they have a far lower rate of drug related problems like overdosing, and B) it’s not like the only alternative to a “war on drugs” is “socialist free heroin for every schoolchild”.

Cool, good info well presented.
Fascinating subject you could discuss Pervitin’s use by the Nazis in WW 2 as well as the Japanese use of amphetamines for its kamikaze pilots. Even today US airforce pilots get given amphetamines to keep them alert and it was the basis for the defence of the pilot during the Iraq war that mistakenly bombed a Canadian regiment performing exercises at night despite being told 3-4 times to not engage by his flight controller.
