Predatory Prohibitionism

Writes Thomas R. Trout:

“Dr. Kurt Harris is a neuroradiologist who blogs on nutrition. His article explains how the war on drugs results in acetaminophen being added to hydrocodone to make it hepatotoxic and thus discourage its “abuse,” resulting in unnecessary deaths from liver failure. It’s the same reason denatured alcohol is made poisonous to discourage alcohol “abuse,” which also results in deaths. His article is an eye-opener on methods employed by the State, including needless deaths, to achieve its prohibitionist aims. There is also brief advice on what to ask for to avoid acetaminophen added to opiates.”
