History of Opium

The story of Opium goes back well before the nineteenth century invention of heroin, opium clippers riding the South China Sea, the discovery of morphne, poets habituated to laudanum, the rudimentary pharmacology of the Middle Ages and the political machinations of ambitious Roman murderers. It has its origins in the start of human society and its use almost certainly pre-dates civilization. In fact, there seems little doubt that opium was one of the first medical substances known o mankind. "Opium: A History"
