Going back to at least the 1800s.
Over 30 years ago, you could get a form of it over the counter, but you had to sign for it - Paragoric.
To say that Perdue Pharma didn't know how addictive it was is their first, very big lie.
@software Wasn't Paragoric used to rub on baby's gums when they were teething? It sounds so familiar.

Yes and to help with colic.
Regulating opium products is more about someone getting rich rather than saving ourselves from addiction. Regulation is not always a good thing

It's no different than people who became billionaires many times over by making/selling alcohol or fast food or junk food or cigarettes. Those things sicken and kill people too.
