Alexa remember yesterday we talked a little bit about the impact of culture and science on the approach to medicine and conceptualizing what is an acceptable substance for medical consumption and what marks the substances that are different from medicine. So, today we will try to see how the very ideas actually impact the laws that govern our access to substances. So, we will start at just over a century ago with the pure food and drugs act of 1906. This is something that impacts us into the present and really helps to control access to a whole range of substances. So, the lie itself is focused on consumer
