in 1885 the u.s. Manufacturer parke-davis sold cocaine in various forms, including cigarettes, powder, and even a cocaine mixture that could be injected directly into the user's veins with the included needle! the company promised that its cocaine products would "supply the place of food, make the coward brave, the silent eloquent and render the sufferer insensitive to pain."

During the 1950s and 1960s, the U.S. Govt. experimented with drugs on its own citizens during Project MKULTRA (kind of sounds a bit delicious). They mostly experimented with LSD but another avenue they played with was using barbituates and amphetamines together. They would inject an individual with barbituates until the subject began to fall asleep at which point they would inject them with amphetamines. This would result in the subjects babbling incoherently but sometimes the scientists were able to ask the subjects questions and get useful information from them.
While most CIA records about the experiments were destroyed, it is thought that there were several deaths resulting from their experiments. The project was terminated in the late '60s when lawsuits were made against the CIA due to concerns about the govt. not giving the test subjects proper consent about the experiments.

November Winning Fact

In October 2002, Chechen rebels took 850 people hostage in a theatre in Moscow. After negotiations failed, Russian special forces pumped an unidentified gas into the ventilation system, killing 39 of the attackers and 129 of the hostages. Though the exact identity of the gas was never revealed, it was (eventually) revealed by the Russian authorities to be a fentanyl derivative.
