CB ========== Don't know about Dahmer or the Columbine boys but McVeigh was in the US Army and that institution has fucked up a lot of people as badly as some types of drugs. As for Hitler, I found this on the National Parkinson Foundation site http://www.parkinson.org/texthtms/thitlerspd2.htm
5. Drug-induced Tremor: Hitler was on several drugs. These were prescribed (or mis-prescribed) by Dr. T. Morell, Hitler's personal physician. They were prescribed for a variety of symptoms--most of them related to fatigue, depression, and anxiety. The drugs included methamphetamine (speed) injected daily beginning in 1942. Cola-Dalmann tablets, containing a number of ingredients including caffeine, used daily since the 1930s. Brom-Nervacit, containing bromide, used sporadically since 1942. All of these drugs, except Cola-Dalmann, were started in 1942, after Hitler's tremor began. All of these drugs can increase tremor, but they could not have caused Hitler's left-sided resting tremor.
Based on the early age of onset , age 45 years, and a history of possible encephalitis in 1918, Hitler may have had post-encephalitic rather than idiopathic Parkinson. This will be discussed in a subsequent "News" item.
******* The German army was also issued speed during the Russian Invasion, amongst other prolonged offensives....See the works of Arnold Trebach.
Need I mention Nixon's fondness for Martini's and his famous encounters with RX bottles [the real origins of the Repugs. hatred of the FDA] of Valium as well as his gout drugs.
Or how about Lawrence "Cocaine" Kudlow and Reagonomics or.....
For a totally flipped out tale of neuropharmacology run amok that will leave your sides splitting better than a Cheech and Chong film, try "The Futurological Congress" by Stanislaw Lem.
Will tripping be "allowed" after "the revolution"?
