History
This section of the site deals with the history of heroin,
dating to well before the its invention. As a result, this
area of Heroin Helper contains a lot of information
about opium and its other derivatives as well. Some historical
material will also be found in our
angry
section, which is where we keep political information. Articles
in that section are more focused on opinion than the
story-orientation of articles found here.
- Opium History
- This is a brief history of opium, taken from my newest book
Little Book of Opium.
- French Connection
- By destroying the "French Connection", government forces allowed
the heroin market in the United States to become open to competition.
The results were good for heroin users, but exactly the opposite of
the government's stated intention.
- Opium/Heroin Timeline
- 6000 of events in the history of opium and heroin.
- Frontline Letter
- Frontline is a PBS news program that does investigative reporting.
They did a highly biased story called
Opium Throughout History.
In support of this, they posted an opium timeline which is equally
biased. This is a letter to the producers of the program, which corrects
a number of problems with this timeline.
