Combustura

COMBUSTURA
SUBITUS was completely safe for export, of that I
can assure you. It was a fantastic find. In the
history of medicine, it ranked right up there
with the discovery of penicillin. If we can rank
penicillin up there with the modern wonder drug,
I mean.
After all,
wasn’t addiction the worst of our vices? Did
we not have a War on Drugs for the better part of
a century? Like most War on Nouns, it failed,
because it could not see the branches of the
problem, let alone the root causes. Which is why
COMBUSTURA SUBITUS is vital in today’s
market. An addiction killing herb. Think of all
the great artists and musicians and politicians
and family members we would still have here if
not for the great drugs of alcohol and others.
Finding a
plant in the Amazon, out of the blue, which can
kill off all addiction was a God Send. So
naturally, we rushed it through those checks. It
worked on animals, most of them survived. We had
until this point no human fatalities. For three
years work, that was practically a miracle. In
addition, it made the government lots of money.
Billions. In these recessed times, it’s the
difference between a stagnant pissant swamp of an
economy, and the express style.
Moreover, oh,
how it sold. Millions of addicts out there after
all. Cured!
A few
dissident voices of course, but we ignored them.
What does Professor Ian Christie, Head of
Pharmacology at the JFK Institute actually know
after all?
Completely
safe.
Almost
completely safe. The fact that the plants we used
as the control for the test have now started to
suffer from self-combustion, is perhaps just a
tiny bit of a concern.
