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?
My sense is conservatives have always been fundamentally live and let live, you do your thing, I’ll do mine, while liberals tend more to be activists for moral-sounding causes; and once they are activists they will also be ideologues and their whole thing becomes a religion.
This is a fundamental difference that shows very loudly in politics, as the chart above illustrates.
The activist left always wants to get into your head and make you be like them.
Historically and practically much of the fervor of the left comes from Jews who invented and them became fanatical about communism.
Today the same energies have morphed into woke stuff, previously PC stuff, now also Antifa stuff.
The common theme is they want to get into your head and make you be like them (often while robbing you blind).
There are few political happenings today that do not succumb to these energies.
There are also few interpersonal happenings today that do not succumb to these energies.
USA was built on the presumption that it was and would be a nation of White Christians who shared strong moral fiber and wanted to work together to build the nation.
USA today is no longer that and many of its non-Christian, non-Whites hate what they are not, and do activist shit against it relentlessly. ABN
Ben Davidson, founder of Space Weather News, told the Matt Beall Limitless podcast that a rapid magnetic pole shift, potentially triggered by a solar ‘micronova,’ could unleash tsunamis, climate chaos and mass extinction.
Though his speculative ‘micronova’ theory, a sudden solar explosion triggering a pole shift, lacks mainstream support, Davidson insisted the underlying geomagnetic cycle is ‘bulletproof’ science.
‘This is a near extinction-level event, and we are in the middle of it right now!’ Davidson said, emphasizing a cycle that occurs roughly every 6,000 years, with a more severe event every 12,000 years.
See also As the World Turns, which makes similar claims but for a different reason. Worst case is the earth’s axis flips some 127 degrees (if memory serves), causing mile high tsunamis that will wipe out almost everything. I’ve posted numerous article on this topic and, personally, find it credible. There is no way to prepare for an axial shift except move to the top of a tall mountain. ABN
I do not have a sophisticated understanding of Huckabee’s theology but have read it is called Dispensational Christianity, which was crystalized by the dubious Scofield Reference Bible in USA.
Whatever the case, Huckabee’s obeisance does not seem appropriate to me, especially while Israel’s savage assault on Gaza is ongoing and he is representing USA.
I know it is too much to ask of any mainstream prominent American, but it would be good if at least a few of them openly recognized that both USA and Israel had to have had foreknowledge of the 10/07 attack and that Israel clearly delayed reacting to it and was responsible for the majority of Israelis killed that day. This profoundly undermines the ersatz ‘moral basis’ of the slaughter and starvation of so many Gazan women, children and civilians.
I am fine with religion and government mixing on abstract and some practical levels, but Huckabee is taking this much too far into dangerous intellectual and theological territory. ABN
As of today, there is no way to be certain who shot Kirk and why.
But there is also no way it is not suspicious so many influencers are asserting the radical trans left did it.
There’s plenty more than just those four names singing that tune.
Free speech isn’t free when it costs $150 million.
I respect Kirk for turning down the bribe.
Congress is bribed, influencers are bribed, legacy media is bribed, universities are bribed.
It’s either the carrot or a bullet in the neck.
If Israel or US IC killed Kirk, it was not just to stop him and blame the left.
It was also to scare the sh*t out of anyone who turns down the bribes to tell what they see as the truth, as Kirk did.
There are so many holes in the official story as of today, no one should be claiming they know who did it or telling others to stop noticing patterns or the absurdity of the story to date.
I will never believe a word of this story if they don’t release the video from the camera behind Kirk when he was shot. ABN
I have only spot checked this video but it appears to be the original one made by Eric Hufschmid, I believe in 2003, perhaps containing some supplementary material. There are other versions of Painful Deceptions, which seem to be the same or similar but narrated by someone other than Eric and about 20 min shorter than the version above. The one above is clearly in Eric’s voice. Whatever, Hufschmid’s video stands as the earliest comprehensive foundation of the 9/11 story. If you have never seen this video, it is important to watch it. If it’s been awhile since you last saw it, it’s well-worth a quick review. ABN
Why do you think the Vatican keeps its underground libraries closed to the public? Why don’t they digitize the books and share them with the world? We know that they possess ancient knowledge, but why keep it for a select few?
Do you think it’s because they care about us or because they want an advantage?
The mainstream narrative is that they want to preserve the books because they are old, and are now slowly digitizing and publishing them online. But in reality, there are millions of books, transcripts, manuscripts, etc., and they have published only a few thousand. How can we know they are not being selective?
This is a Deep Rabbit Hole Thread (1/10)🧵
They say, ‘Knowledge is power,’ but also, ‘Ignorance is bliss.’ Do you really think that the masses are not ready for the truth? And do you really believe that only the select elite is able to handle the knowledge?
They renamed the library from the ‘Vatican Secret Archives’ to the ‘Vatican Apostolic Library,’ and the ‘Vatican Secret Archives’ to the ‘Vatican Apostolic Archives,’ to stop drawing attention to their secret! (2/10)🧵
We’ve been lied to about our entire history and the origins of human civilization. We’re still being lied to because of what’s coming. But you can put two and two together if you look outside their mainstream scientific framework.
The speed of the North Magnetic Pole’s movement was around 10 km per year for most of the 20th century, then suddenly increased in the 1990s to over 50 km per year, moving toward Siberia…
They made this graphic in 2025, and what it reveals will change how you see your future—this is why billionaires are building doomsday bunkers!
Did you notice the sudden acceleration in the 1990s? That shift triggered true polar wander, which began altering Earth’s rotational axis.
Around 1995–2000, Earth’s spin axis took an abrupt turn toward the east and is now drifting almost twice as fast as before, at a rate of nearly 7 inches (17 centimeters) per year.
It’s no longer moving toward Hudson Bay, Canada, but instead toward Europe, just like the North Magnetic Pole!
I have posted information on this several times. Since it is quite plausible, and if true of enormous importance, I am posting this overview which is clear and concise. ABN
