| Résumé : |
ENGLISH : It began as a cough suppressant. In 1898, the Bayer Company commercially introduced heroin - the trademarked name for diacetylmorphine - to every corner of the Earth. Contrary to common assertion, heroin was not recommended for treatment of morphine or opium habits. The leading causes of death at that time, tuberculosis and pneumonia, were linked to uncontrollable coughing. Heroin performed well in the manufacturer's preliminary testing and was hailed upon release for its effectiveness. Although heroin is a morphine derivative, it was not for several years thought to be particularly habit-forming. Its addictive potential became apparent especially in the United States, where its sale was virtually unrestricted until 1914. Heroin's prominence among teenaged gangs in New York City eventually prompted the city's 1919 health commissioner to characterize its use as "an American disease." Leading experts on the history, policy analysis, treatment, and demography of heroin illuminate a century of controversy surrounding one of the world's most infamous opiates. (Editor's abstract.) |
