People got tired at all times, and therefore they have been looking for help from plants since ancient times, trusting their more mature age and friendliness. Plants did not mind and shared their healing powers with the person
Peruvian coca
South American Indians knew a lot not only about potatoes, corn, tomatoes and other nutritious plants that support the vitality of the body, but also in plants that can relieve fatigue, tear a person away from reality, taking him to the world of illusion and temporary pleasure.
One such plant was
tobacco, against which Mankind periodically arranges demonstration actions, striving to bring to the consciousness the harm and danger of smoking. But a person is already so accustomed to a "soothing" cigarette that the suggestibility of shares does not reach many.
But the plant with the name “
Coca" or"
Cocaine bush . Its straight branches, covered with oval thin leaves, look like branches
Blackthorn … The absence of sharp thorns on Koki's branches did not save the plant from ill fame, which stepped over the glory of the Crown of Thorns, planted on the forehead of the defender of the human race.

If the Indians, whose life was not easy, coca leaves were used to rid a person of pain, fatigue, suppress the feeling of cold and hunger that haunted people in the long intervals between successful hunts, then today, the drug obtained by an advanced civilization from the leaves of a plant has become a dangerous obsession, capable of leaving no trace of Humanity on Earth.
Cocaine, laid in coca leaves by the Almighty, was clearly intended to relieve human wounds, which were inevitable while a person got used to this world. So it was used at first, and it is used today.
But there are always people who, for the sake of their own profit, are ready to distort the designs of the Creator and use natural medicines as a deadly entertainment.
The oldest pain reliever
The oldest anesthetic medicine learned to extract from green boxes
poppy in Mesopotamia. The milky resinous juice of unripe poppy pods was squeezed out and dried, obtaining a medicine called"
opium ».
This discovery was actively used by physicians of the Roman Empire, Ancient Greece, Egypt, Arab countries, China. The life of peoples in those days was filled with battles and battles, and therefore opium has always been in demand as a sedative and a remedy that relieves the pain of the wounds received by the soldiers who survived the massacres.
So opium would have remained an anesthetic medicine if it, like cocaine, had not been used by unscrupulous people pursuing their own interests of profit. So the British at the beginning of the 19th century, in order to conquer the markets of proud and independent China, illegally imported opium into the country, having managed to "add" most of the officials and ordinary people to this poison. The Americans did not doze either, contributing their share of the supply of opium. The outcome for the Chinese people was very deplorable both in terms of the health of the nation and in terms of the loss of economic independence.
Such a scenario so pleased the great-power "dreamers" that they periodically use it in various recalcitrant parts of the planet. This has not spared our country as well.
Without understanding that opium can be obtained from special types
opium poppy - plants with white flowers, we began to destroy crops of harmless
field poppy with scarlet flowers that filled the village front gardens.
Such a measure led to the fact that a whole generation has grown up, which did not have to feast on lush and tasty buns and rolls with poppy filling. As for the opium-drug, he managed to easily pass all our valiant border cordons and replace the buns with a deadly poison.
