It used to be part of the British Pharmacopeia, but has been significantly more restricted than morphine, heroin and cocaine for a century. It's very odd. Amongst other players William Randolph Hearst was hacked off that the Mexicans nabbed some of his prime timber land in the Spanish-American war ... I said that I wouldn't follow-up on the politics, and won't, but you might like this correction of fact. That's a decade later and in a far country. Try the Dangerous Drugs Act 1920, the Dangerous Drugs Amendment Act 1923 and the 1928 amendment to the DDA 1920. Unfortunately, they are not online, and it would be the record in Hansard that would be more interesting. I doubt that I am going to get time to look at them. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
