smg77 posted:Wasn't it connected to Prohibition? Yes, it was connected to alcohol prohibition, and the entire progressive era food and drug reform movement. The original federal drug enforcement bureaucracy was part of the Bureau of Prohibition. The Harrison Act was passed just before WW1, but only clamped down on hard after alcohol prohibition kicked in. After alcohol prohibition got going, a lot of people turned to other ways to get high and organized crime stepped right up to fill the expanding market. I suggest Johann Hari's recent book, Chasing the Scream as a decent introduction to how the mess got rolling.
