Heroin became the drug of choice during the 1920s primarily because its high potency meant that smaller amounts were needed to achieve the desired effects, making it easier to smuggle than other forms of opioids. This period was marked by increasing restrictions and controls over opioid distribution, which made the compact and easily concealed nature of heroin particularly appealing.
