The Harrison Act of 1914 made it illegal to sell narcotics except by a prescription obtained from a physician. This included cocaine and opiates, such as morphine and heroin. The act was aimed at controlling the use of these drugs and preventing addiction. It did not explicitly make it illegal to prescribe narcotics to opiate dependent persons, but it did make it more difficult for physicians to do so, as they had to register and keep detailed records of their prescribing practices.
