==History== Two famous users of dihydrocodeine were [[William S. Burroughs]], who described it as "twice as strong as codeine and almost as good as heroin" and [[Hermann Göring]], who was a known [[morphine]] addict (Hitler referred to him as the "morphinist"), consumed up to 100 tablets (3 grams) of dihydrocodeine per day and was captured by the Allies with a large quantity of the drug in a suitcase, reportedly more than 20,000 tablets{{Citation needed|date=January 2022}}. Another account suggest [[Hermann Göring]] was taking 20 tablets in the morning and 20 at night to ward off morphine withdrawals. Germany was experiencing a massive shortage of morphine, and as a result Göring used massive amounts of dihydrocodeine.<ref>{{Cite book| vauthors = Dolibois J |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Hs5sXTlcbY4C&pg=PA88|title=Pattern of Circles: An Ambassador's Story|date= 16 November 2000 |publisher=Kent State University Press|isbn=978-0-87338-702-6|pages=88|language=en}}</ref> He also used morphine and [[oxycodone]], beginning with therapeutic use of morphine after being wounded in the groin during the November 1923 [[Beer Hall Putsch]] in [[Munich]] and then used dihydrocodeine in the early 1930s for toothache.<ref name="books.google.com">{{Cite book| vauthors = Ramen F |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=T93nvBI0gfIC|title=Hermann Göring: Hitler's Second-in-command|date= January 2000 | publisher=The Rosen Publishing Group|isbn=978-0-8239-3307-5|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://gaijinass.com/2010/07/12/world-leaders-that-had-serious-drug-addictions/|title=World leaders that had serious drug addictions|date= 12 July 2010 |website=Gaijinass|access-date= 26 July 2016}}</ref>
