All of the drugs and eras are accurately matched with each other. The panic around marijuana in the 1930s led to the passing of the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937. Cocaine was widely prescribed in the early 1900s and was a popular ingredient in tonics and elixirs until its addictive properties became evident.
