The drug goes back to the a world war one time period of japanese research invented it. It was then used in naty germany to to fire the troops to keep the troops from marching. They called it panza chocolada, or tank chocolate. In the united states, we also gave this drug to soldiers. Pregnant women used it. I was really a one example of where you have a drug that's legal and is now part of the culture. The bikers controlled the dope for a good 20 plus years up into the late 19 eighties.
