Research So Far

My research topic was originally pain management but as I have conducted my research I have begun focusing specifically on opium use. I have been looking at the evolution of opium use, how it went from being a widely used and accepted medical treatment to being seen as an addictive and dangerous substance that needed to be illegal. As I continue my research I want to look at the cause of the this change and also at the social and economic effects that this change in view had.
