THE FATAL DRUG THAT ELI LILLY "INVENTED" IN 1953 Dr Ulf Jonasson
Probably has no single drug caused so many fatal poisonings as the substance propoxyphene have done in US. The brands in US are DARVON and DARVOCET, in UK CO-PROXAMOL. In UK they now have hard restrictions when the drug is prescribed – but in US there is still no problem to get the drug – and the fatal poisonings will continue.

Since 1957 the drug has been around. It was Eli Lilly that synthesized it Propoxyphene in 1953. During the years 1982-2003 1 921 915 kg was consumed. During the years 1957 – 1982 roughly the same kg of Propoxyphene could have been consumed. Statistically “it takes” 12 kg to poison one person to death. How many persons I US could have lost their lives due to propoxyphene?

Wow, taking a synthesized chemical we know nothing about can result in bad things. Does /b/ know about this? They will probably organize a protest!

When I was 16 my friend and I found some of this in his dads room, and read online that it was an opioid, what common dose ranges were based on body weight, what contraindications there were for it, and decided it was safe enough, so we each crushed and snorted two and felt absolutely no different.
