Morphine addiction

Morphine is very addictive. Tolerance and mental addiction to morphine increase extremely fast. Morphine is a type of drug that relieves pain, reliefs of fear and anxiety, decease of hunger and inhibiting the cough reflex. It was not until 1853 that they created the needle for this drug. As the Greeks created the needle to put morphine in it spread everywhere and was used for pain relief, and as a "cure" alcohol addiction. Once you start to addict to morphine and you stop taking this drug you will experience tearing, yawning, sweating and chills lasting up around to three days. Like other relaxing drug, morphine quickly effects directly on the central nervous system in the brain to relieve pain. Morphine is very dangerous and is usually very addictive, especially compared to other medicine.

At the time of To Kill a Mockingbird there were harsh laws that affected African Americans only. These laws did not affect white people as they were made for African Americans.
