>>511218193 (OP)something people never like to write about in history is drug use, specifically the pharmacists causing so many problems. the late bronze age had their version of laudanum made from poppy, cannabis extracts, and a type of meth made from ephedra stalks and roots.
something they also did was harvest organs from specific animals. one which was popular for eunuchs was that the alchemists would harvest a bunch of female animal genitalia, do a series of extractions, decoctions, distillations, etc... to get the essences out. they were doing the same thing we do when we extract animal hormones.
the eunuchs, and other tranny wannabe faggots, would maintain their femininity by taking those substances, and often times with the cannabis/opiate/meth kicker to make it extra fun.
we do a lot of it by synthesis now to make it in bulk, but, you are what you eat. extracting a bunch of female growth hormones from animals will fuck you up. in my dumb hick view, the great troonening happens when a society flies too close to the sun and it all starts to fall apart.
back in their day, the alchemists and pharmacists got out of control, started becoming drug dealers more than actual medical practitioners. they lived lavish lifestyles at the cost of a population of addicts and non-addicts alike. the wild west was plagued with laudanum, and that was just wine with some cooked poppy latex in it. egyptian tombs had 10 gallon jars full of cocaine.
we have the same situation today- pharmaceutical companies running wild, drug dealers pushing too hard, and the typical rot and decay of an empire.
