• According to John Pinel, one cause of opiate addiction after the Harrison Narcotics Act (1914) was that heroine remained legal and accessible. good paraphrase.
• Because morphine, cocaine, and opium were outlawed by the 1914 Harrison Narcotics Act, "opiate addicts...turned to the readily available and much more potent heroin" (Pinel 479).  good quotation.
• Pinel blames the Bayer Company for the high rates of heroin addiction in the United States. misleading paraphrase.
• Some commerically-vested companies denied that heroin was habit-forming. For example, Pinel cites the Bayer Company, which concluded that heroin was safe "on the basis of flimsy evidence" (479). good quotation.
• Pinel's main point is that while the Harrison Narcotics Act of 1914 outlawed the opiates morphine, cocaine, and opium, it ironically increased addiction to the legal and more problematic heroine. good summary.
• Since heroin remained legal, the flames of addiction were further fanned. plagiarism.
• In the late 1800's, heroin was sold by the Bayer Company, it was obtainable with a doctor's order, and it was marketed as a wonder-drug. synonomous paraphrase.
