I seem to remember a story that the opiod methadone was invented in Nazi Germany as a substitute for morphine, which was unobtainable due to all the poppy growing areas being under control of the other side in the war. I remember reading he took drugs, perhaps not methadone but amphetamine? In the same stream of thought I read somewhere else that the United States has a strategic reserve of either morphine or opium (from which one may manufacture the former) for war use. With all the newer completely synthetic painkillers now I wonder if this is even a necessity?
