And that's a very potent, you know, that numbs all your pain.

Like you don't have pain anymore if you're on morphine.

Also affects judgment.

I've never taken morphine.

So I cannot really say.

Like there's a few junkies.

that are highly creative on it like a lot of musicians in the 60s were using heroin which is a more potent form or like it's a it's a half synthetic it's an opioid morphine is an opiate and heroin is an opioid I guess you could be quite sharp on it also that's why Hitler liked Oikodal which is Oxycontin Oxycodone and he injected that

There's another opiate heroin-like.

It was a product by the Merck company from Darmstadt, Germany.

They made Oikodal, which when Germany lost the war, the patent was basically taken by America and then ended up in Oxycodone.

So if you inject Oikodal, that was a very popular drug in the 20s because apparently it gives you the most beautiful high on earth.

You're like super high, like you feel extremely well and you can think very clearly and you feel like this is how life should feel.

High on Oikodal, this is like Klaus Mann, the son of Thomas Mann, he used Oikodal.

Quite a few doctors actually used it also, and probably quite a few Jewish doctors also used it, because this was like a doctor's drug.

Doctors knew how to set the injection, and it was a great experience.

And Hitler, he really loved to be on Oikodal.

He would use Oikodal every second day.

In the beginning, 10 milligrams intravenously, then he raised to 20 milligrams.

And I spoke to someone who's actually done exactly that drug application because I wanted to know how Hitler felt.

And I didn't feel like doing it myself for some reason.
