History and Science of Laudanum

[@Theremedialgash]

Hahaha - just saw the book label, your video deserves far wider coverage! Admittedly that quote won't sell millions of views, but you get the gist.

[@Mr.Ambrose_Dyer_Armitage_Esq.]

I employ a homemade version to retain my sanity while researching unspeakable esoterica and making my chthonic expeditions into the abyssal depths of forbidden mysteries; had a friend who did, too, after escaping U-boat captivity and spending a week in marine isolation though...when he ran out he made some insane rantings and threw himself from a sixth story window. It's a hard knock life for we....

[@stevenkostamo1279]

I basically create this in my stomach with a codeine pill and a shot of hard liquor, 46 broken bones and teeth has inflicted significant pains in my body, primarily my right leg which all the large bones have been shattered once and/or broken a few times.

[@cococock2418]

@@stevenkostamo1279 imagine thinking weak ass codeine is the same as this

[@sonnumartinez4533]

This was really cool and interesting thank you

[@josebro352]

I've always been curious about Laudanum and Absinthe

[@grillsidepickin2397]

Well informed and well presented. One of the few video’s I’ve found thus far delving exactly into what i wanted to know. . .a history of Laudanum!! You should post more =}

[@clint4004]

Only had Delaudid but I see the names are similar in origin..

[@brianmitchell719]

Both are opiates but can tell you from my own experience with both that laudanum s by far the strongest, was given laudanum to control my diarrhea when I had E. coli.

[@krisnilsson5044]

Nice educational content!

[@cr0www]

idk if it was the vibes i got from this video or just randomly learning about laudanum on a whim, but i was enthralled the entire time :) please make more videos like this :D great job!!

[@josebro352]

I agree. It has an ASMR-like quality about it.

[@dexterdextrow7248]

that was, well, charming and not full of stock photos and clear attempts to imitate other bigger channels with inherent personality. which is nice. Also, as an addition to the trivia, Laudanum can be found and used in the game Amnesia as a "sanity potion". May be appropriate considering the events and setting of that game.

[@isadoranovaes5387]

Thank you for the video, this is exactly what i was looking for!

[@Theremedialgash]

Sorry to add a third comment in a row, but that was terrific. I am a booze addict, somewhat in remission but occasionally abuse minor doses of codeine to alleviate my temptations, CWE to remove the paracetamol present in OTC versions of said drugs... Anyway that was a massive eye-opener. Many thanks.

[@Gooodmorningdog]

Do more history of drugs vids this was awesome

[@darxtar369]

Appreciate your perspective 😇

[@heavybolter6396]

would love more videos in this vein, a look into pre modern medicinal products is really interesting and unique.

[@driprubies2464]

That Swiss physician had historically the funnest name to pronounce ever!

[@okrrlala9111]

very cool and informative video thank you so much

[@grahamsawyer831]

very good! Paracelsus, the father of patent medicine... joking aside, this is excellent + very informative

[@Theremedialgash]

What a great and informative video, thank you. Had heard of the substance and really wanted to know what it was. Didn't realise that it was booze and opiates, presumed (wrongly) that it was just a crude form of drinkable opium (I am not a scientist - and realise that it was a stupid assumption). Anyway, thanks. x

Potion of "I won't remember the next evening"

[@maxwellhowig510]

I've know this feeling of laudanum, truly, only once. An escape from pain wasn'tx my gain, nor what I desired, I felt it's administration for science. The experience certainly wasn't transcendental, but most efficacious. Alprazolam + Wild Turkey 101 is the easiest equivalent.

[@AurenGlytterkat]

Alprazolam is not an opiate. It is a benzodiazepine. And you should never mix benzodiazepines with alcohol; it can cause fatal respiratory depression. (ie, you stop breathing.)

[@cantlearnham6026]

Your pronunciation choices are his-tare-rickle

[@muhammadhadi8676]

Where from u? I am dictionary reader. I am trying to understand word Laudanum.

[@gregorteply9034]

Sounds great 🤔

[@AurenGlytterkat]

I’m reading a book and there’s a character (1901) that uses Laudanum.

[@Gabriel-e5g3e]

So that’s what Daniel’s been chugging down… yep, that would explain a lot.

[@danielplantagenet8385]

Samuel Taylor Coleridge left the chat……

[@mikehunt4797]

Co-deen

[@titaniumgamer_10]

1:47 Anaglesiacs?? What could that be. Interesting how you make such a video about medicine and can't even properly pronounce elementary terms like that.

[@aahaah165]

The content was informative which is what matters

[@jeffreyjablowicz1200]

I'll take a gallon, a month.
