- Last December 19, on Discovery Channel's "Justice Files", mention was made
- of a powerful, fast acting analgesic that had as it's antidote common cran-
- berry juice. They didn't mention what the drug was and electronically obl-
- iteraited a crime report naming the substance. It reportedly was in wide-
- spread use during the Vietnam conflict as a field expedient until the ar-
- rival of medical help.
-
- Anyone know what this drug was? How does cranberry juice counter its ef-
- fects?
