Why was the 18th Amendment prohibiting alcohol such an important influence on the federal approach to regulating opioids and cocaine?
What will be an ideal response?
The Narcotics Division in the Treasury department had been small and focused mainly on opium smuggling. Prohibition created a larger enforcement arm within Treasury, and Narcotics was placed under that. This agency now took a "prohibition" approach to narcotics, trying to prevent users from getting them. They closed down treatment clinics and arrested many physicians and pharmacists who supplied drugs to dependent users. Bonus: This was not due to a change in drug laws, but to a restructuring of the bureaucracy.
