Despite years and years of the media telling us Merck had developed Ecstacy as an appetite suppressant in 1912 and tested it on animals and humans, Merck now reveals the true story

It seems that Anton Kollisch, a chemist atr Merck, discovered it as a byproduct when they were synthesising a new clotting agent. It was not actually investigated for phramaceutical properties for about another 30 years and the first human trials were likely to have been carried out by the US airforce and not Merck

I meant what country. The cots varies very dramatically across Europe and across regions of the UK too. Which is why notional street costs of drugs are allways a nonsence.
