Yes, I vaguely remember that you were quizzing me about my drug usage during high school, and I really must confess that the only drug that I can remember ingesting during high school was called aspirin, an over-the-counter remedy for headaches and that sort of thing. There might have been also one or another cold remedies in our medicinal inventory. What brand of aspirin, you may have asked. And I probably would have answered that I could not remember what brand, whatever my mom found in stock at the store one can easily imagine, whether Bayer or Johnson & Johnson mattered not, myself not being aware of us being the slaves to any demands of brand loyalty to any particular drug company, although generic aspirin not having yet been thought of at the time.
I had never really seen much need for all this yapping about drug company business, but one can easily imagine that there might be drug company reps everywhere trading with farmers and collecting plant specimens and whatever they do. I really only want aspirin when I feel that I need it and the rest of the time I never think about drug companies at all.
