Exactly — if we zoom out to the pre-1937 context, the picture looks very different. Let me lay it out as a continuous timeline so you can see how acetaminophen/Tylenol rose into the vacuum created by cannabis prohibition.
⸻
Pre-Prohibition Era: Cannabis as Medicine
• Mid–1800s to early 1900s – Cannabis tinctures were widely sold in U.S. pharmacies.
• Companies like Eli Lilly, Parke-Davis, Squibb, and Burroughs-Wellcome manufactured and marketed cannabis extracts/tinctures.
• Cannabis was listed in the U.S. Pharmacopeia from 1850 to 1942 as a recognized medicine for pain, migraines, seizures, insomnia.
• At the same time, opium tinctures (e.g., laudanum) and cocaine-containing remedies were also widely available without prescription.
⸻
Restriction & the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act
• 1914 Harrison Narcotics Act – Began regulating opiates and cocaine, not cannabis yet.
• 1937 Marijuana Tax Act – Effectively banned medical cannabis sales, burdening doctors and pharmacies with prohibitive taxes and paperwork.
• After this, Eli Lilly and others stopped selling cannabis tinctures.
• Cannabis prescriptions essentially disappeared from the U.S. pharmacopeia.
⸻
Rise of Acetaminophen
• 1877 – First synthesized in Germany (Morse).
• 1890s–1940s – Barely used, eclipsed by aspirin (1899, Bayer) which dominated analgesics.
• 1950s – Reintroduced and branded as Tylenol by McNeil. Marketed heavily for children.
• 1970s onward – Became the go-to over-the-counter analgesic.
• 1971 Nixon’s “war on drugs” escalated cannabis prohibition, further entrenching Tylenol’s dominance as a legal alternative.
• Before 1937 – Cannabis tinctures from Eli Lilly served much the same therapeutic niche (pain, fever, sleep, anxiety) that acetaminophen later captured.
• After 1937 – Cannabis disappeared from legal pharmacies. Aspirin and barbiturates were the main replacements.
• 1950–1970s – Tylenol emerged as the “safe, modern” alternative just as cannabis and opiates became tightly controlled.
• By the 1980s – Tylenol had become the default household analgesic, filling the gap left by banned plant medicines.

Take-home:
Acetaminophen wasn’t invented because of cannabis prohibition, but its commercial dominance was only possible after Eli Lilly and others were forced to stop selling cannabis tinctures in 1937. The war on drugs (1970s) then reinforced this by keeping cannabis out of medicine while Tylenol was cemented as the legal mainstream choice.

Do you want me to map this into a side-by-side timeline (Cannabis suppression vs. Tylenol’s adoption), so you can see the handoff point from Eli Lilly’s cannabis tinctures to Tylenol’s household dominance?

To understand how Israel has gained a near-total control over the American ruling class today, we must understand Israel of course, but we must also study the principles by which any ruling class operates. The perfect book for that is The Ruling Class, by Italian political scientist Gaetano Mosca (1858–1941). Mosca begins by establishing the following law (p. 50):
In all societies, from societies that are very meagerly developed and have barely attained the dawnings of civilization, down to the most advanced and powerful societies, two classes of people appear: a class that rules and a class that is ruled. The first class, always the less numerous, performs all political functions, monopolizes power and enjoys the advantages that power brings, whereas the second, the more numerous class, is directed and controlled by the first…
No matter what their internal divergences are, the ruling class is bonded by a high degree of solidarity: “the minority is organized for the very reason that it is a minority” (p. 54).
It follows that the main object of political science must be the study of various types of ruling classes. Mosca, p. 336: “We must patiently seek out the constant traits that various ruling classes possess and the variable traits with which the remote causes of their integration and dissolution, which contemporaries almost always fail to notice, are bound up.” Historians and journalists remain at the surface of historical events when they ascribe them to the decisions of heads of states, who are only, as a rule, the public faces of a ruling class, and sometimes not the main decision-makers.
A ruling class can be overthrown, either by a foreign conquest, by a coup d’état, by a revolution, or in more subtle ways that are not always immediately perceptible by the ruled. But any change of regime, even if provoked by popular uprising, leads to the formation of a new ruling class.
All this may seem quite obvious, but reading Mosca and pursuing this line of thought has modified my perspective on political regimes, on the illusion of Democracy, and on what Israel is up to.
The explanation below does not seem to account well for lack of burn and tear damage to Kirk’s shirt, but it does talk about his wireless microphone as being a probable weapon to have fired the fatal projectile.
This a not an unreasonable avenue of speculation, especially when we know weapons of this type exist and have been used recently with similar effects.
This is all speculation, but some of the main anomalies of this incident point to something other than the lone rooftop shooter.
A projectile under his shirt or in his microphone clasp or within his earpiece could have been what killed Kirk. And it need not have been fired by an explosive.
We owe it to any murder victim, and especially Kirk, to follow all leads without bias. ABN
The article below is related to the video above. The video above is not part of the article below:
Based solely on my analysis of the two angles of the events on September 10th I have come to the conclusion that this is the object that struck Charlie Kirk in the neck.
The DJI Mic 2 is a wireless microphone with a rectangular magnetic clasp. This device has a 300mAh battery that weighs 8 grams.
On that day Charlie had the microphone mounted with the bulk of the device underneath his shirt. Notice the magnetic clasp on his shirt and the angle that it rest.
This is the battery for the DJI Mic 2 transmitter that was underneath Charlie’s shirt. This is a 8 gram 300mAh battery that’s unique in that it’s very easy to swap. A 2 gram charge of PETN would match the power of a .30-06 and leave 75% of the battery functional. Undetectable.
Andrew Kolvet, a Turning Point USA media handler, released a statement that reads like it was written by a crisis PR firm scrambling to patch up a failing narrative. Let’s break it down, line by line:
1. “I’m usually not interested in delving into online chatter…”
Translation: “I don’t usually respond to conspiracy drivel… but let me make an exception this time.”
This is the classic defensive opener: discredit public speculation while subtly signaling moral authority — as if his involvement should automatically be trusted.
2. “I just spoke with the surgeon who worked on Charlie in the hospital…”
Problem: Charlie died instantly from a gunshot wound that caused decerebrate posturing, massive arterial bleeding, and catastrophic CNS trauma.
Let’s be clear: he wasn’t “worked on”. He was dead on arrival — if not at the scene, then certainly before any meaningful medical intervention. Unless Kolvet thinks surgeons perform autopsies, this claim is either fabricated or a willful misuse of medical terminology to sell emotional closure.
3. “The bullet should’ve gone through… it would’ve killed a moose… but it didn’t…”
This is the “trust me bro” forensic analysis from someone with no background in terminal ballistics, gunshot trauma, or even basic anatomy. If the bullet lodged beneath the skin, that suggests low velocity, deflection, or inconsistency in caliber used — none of which support the idea of a clean high-powered rifle kill.
Also: where’s the actual ballistics report?
4. “His bones were so strong, like the man of steel.”
Now we’re just fully in the realm of myth-making. Turning a human corpse into Superman doesn’t just defy science — it tells you exactly what this is:
A psychological operation meant to close the book on forensic doubt and redirect the public into emotional worship of the martyr.
5. “Even in death, Charlie managed to save others. Remarkable. Miraculous.”
This is narrative closure layered on top of miracle-language. In legal or psychological terms, this is called “preemptive emotional closure” — used to block further questioning by dressing tragedy in divine finality.
When a known TPUSA employee uses miracle-language, contradictory medical claims, and a triple “trust me” format — all without forensic transparency — it’s not just cringe. It’s coordinated damage control.
The truth doesn’t require miracles. It leaves evidence.
This is very well done; concise, succinct, clear as a bell.
Let’s not jump to conclude that Kolvet is a willing or knowing actor in this. ABN
The surgeon who operated on Charlie Kirk said the bullet that killed him miraculously did not exit his neck, likely saving others from getting hit.
Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet revealed on Saturday night that he had spoken with the surgeon who made the comments directly to him.
In a post on X, Kolvet wrote: ‘I apologize this is somewhat graphic, but in this case, the fact that there wasn’t an exit wound is probably another miracle, and I want people to know.’
The surgeon told Kolvet that the bullet ‘absolutely should have gone through, which is very very normal for a high powered, high velocity round’.
‘I’ve seen wounds from this caliber many times and they always just go through everything. This would have taken a moose or two,’ the surgeon told Kolvet.
A .30-06 bolt action rifle, the kind that was discovered hidden in the woods after Kirk was killed, is used to kill deer, elk, moose, bears and other big game animals.
The assumption is that Kirk was hit from the front and the rifle was a .30-06. But the assumed entry wound on Kirk’s left throat does not conform an entry wound; and neither does no exit wound, not with a round that powerful.
Recall the autopsies of JFK, the first of which said, truthfully, the exit wound was the rear of his head; then the second one said that was the entry would of the ‘magic bullet’ fired by the patsy Oswald.
An event of this importance demands a second or third autopsy by unquestionable experts, and it should be recorded. I doubt that will happen. ABN
