Dr. Punymurtula Kishore & Hal Shurtleff Part 2

In Part 2, Dr. P. Kishore and Hal Shurtleff continue the history of alcohol and drug addiction from the Civil War's morphine to Bayer's pure herion, to JFK's methadone addiction and today's explosive growth in methadone clinics in Massachusetts. Why the protocol, in practice, for taking methadone, is wrong; why addicted babies in utero and after birth experience a much more painful withdrawal; how NARCAN, which has become very expensive, is actually used for drug overdoses; and why our current public policy on drug addiction is misplaced.
