Chloroform: How One Antibiotic Created Brazil's Crack Epidemic | History for Sleep

In the 1950s, Brazil built pharmaceutical factories to save millions from bacterial infections. The miracle antibiotic chloramphenicol required massive amounts of chloroform for production. Nobody questioned why a developing nation needed thousands of tons of this chemical flooding through its economy. Decades later, that same infrastructure became the highway for Brazil's devastating crack epidemic. The medicine factory became the poison supply chain. One antibiotic's chemical requirements accidentally created the perfect infrastructure for one of South America's worst drug crises. This is the story of how good intentions, corporate greed, and chemistry created a tragedy nobody predicted. #History #DrugTrade #HistoryForSleep #DrugStories
