@Songsmirth I wish we would not blame drugs for our problems. People commit crimes; drugs might motivate some people to do bad acts, but so does love for instance. Crimes should be prosecuted, not their causes. One isn't evil for doing drugs, but for doing bad acts. In my experience opium only has the potential to cause crime when it cannot be obtianed and, while I agree that drugs like cocaine should be illegal, I believe opium should be sold a pharmacies. Your comments struck a chord in me

@PatrickEngSU Interesting Patrick. I will look it up but it makes sense. Spoiled people who didn't know how deadly it could be. The thing is I've read a great many books of the era and I can't remember one that told of the upper classes using opium like this. I remember one that had a noble being addicted but that's all. Does't mean what you say isn't true. I'll look it up. Thanks Pat. I want to get the history correctly. Do you have any references please? :) Songs

@Songsmirth Did you know in brittain the 19th century opium was consumed like alcohol by the upperclass? So no, there is no such thing as an addict being discovered and dismissed from the royal naval during the era in which the hornblower series is set. For thousands of years opium was shared at parties and consumed for pleasure. In india there was even a ceremony regarding the giving of opium to guests. It's arrogant to believe that modern puritan beliefs trump thousands of years of culture

Clinically insane captain, cowardly doctor and indecisive first lieutenant. Not a good combination at all.

Sawyer is halfway to being a Pirate Ship captian lol

[Songsmirth]

@FlippinBooks The captain and doctor are addicts too. If the doctor puts the captain away, he will be transfered and his addiction will be found out. That's why he does everything in his power, no matter how grave the situation, to back him up, as immoral as it is. They are living in their own world and when it gets bad, they just take more. Willard isn't use to the stuff and has the dizziness he does. The doctor's end all cures.
