Prohibition of cocaine In the United States, cocaine was prohibited in the first part of the 20th century. Newspapers used terms like "Negro Cocaine Fiends" and "Cocainized Niggers" to drive up sales, causing a nationwide panic about the rape of white women by black men, high on cocaine. Many police forces changed from a .32 caliber to a .38 caliber pistol because the smaller gun was supposedly unable to kill black men.[2][not in citation given][unreliable source?] The Harrison Act This was followed by the Harrison Act, passed in 1914, which required sellers of opiates and cocaine to get a license (which were usually only distributed to white people)[citation needed]. While originally intended to require paper trails of drug transactions[citation needed] between doctors, drug stores, and patients, it soon became a prohibitive law. The law’s wording was quite vague; it was originally intended as a revenue tracking mechanism that required prescriptions for opiates. It became legal precedent that any prescription for a narcotic given by a physician or pharmacist – even in the course of medical treatment for addiction - constituted conspiracy to violate the Harrison Act. In 1919, the Supreme Court ruled in Doremus that the Harrison Act was constitutional and in Webb that physicians could not prescribe narcotics solely for maintenance.[5] In the decision Jin Fuey Moy v. United States, 254 U.S. 189 (1920) the court upheld that it was a violation of the Harrison Act even if a physician provided prescription of a narcotic for an addict, and thus subject to criminal prosecution. The initial proponents of the Harrison Act did not support blanket prohibition of the drugs involved 1. This is also true of the later Marijuana Tax Act in 1937. Soon, however, licensing bodies did not issues licenses, effectively banning the drugs. The American judicial system did not initially accept drug prohibition. Prosecutors argued that possessing drugs was a tax violation, as no legal licenses to sell drugs were in existence; hence, a person possessing drugs must have purchased them from an unlicensed source. After some wrangling, this was accepted as federal jurisdiction under the interstate commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Let me Educate you real quick. Without child labor in foreign factories - those kids would starve, much like the homeless did before the industrial revolution. I suggest you read more into history. Child labor was a blessing, allowing orphans to buy food and develop skills. Shutting down Child labor factories is Immoral and unethical. Every Factory regulated or shut down creates more Starvation, Child slave trades, and kidnappings. Starving children would give anything to find work and buy food, but you neo-conservatives and Liberals want to play god and destroy natural human culture and productivity across the globe. You want factories in your state, get rid of minimum wage and allow children the freedom to work. I'm sure you'd like us to hoard all kids in Giant public schools like animals; flood the market with Literate labor, devaluing their worth. Increases in taxes to pay for this "Educational Zoo-like system" causes out-sourcing, creates homeless, forcing skilled people to work in black markets and vote for more welfare b.c. they do not know how to be productive but yurn to do so.
