Opioids: From Salvation to Nightmare | ODD ORIGINS

Описание: In this documentary, ODD ORIGINS traces the millennia-long history of opium and human pain relief, from ancient Mesopotamia to modern America. Long before the concept of "medicine" existed, humans sought ways to escape suffering – from illness, childbirth, war, and the fragility of existence itself.

From the Sumerian Hul Gil ("tree of pleasure"), to ancient Egyptian medicine, Greek and Roman painkillers, medieval Islamic scholarship, laudanum in early modern Europe, the Opium Wars, morphine, heroin, fentanyl – and finally Tranq – this video reveals how a substance used to alleviate pain gradually transformed into a destructive mechanism.
