"From what I heard there was a huge problem with drugs in the USA (probably Europe too) during the early 1920's. You could buy a kilo of cocaine at the local drugstore no problem for a few cents. "

Cocaine was made illegal in 1914 under the Harrison Narcotics act. One significant reason for making it illegal was because it caused Negro men to rape white women. It was also in the original formula for Coca Cola. There was no significant drug problem in this country previous to the passage of prohibition.
