There has never been a 'war on drugs'! In our history we can only see an ongoing conflict amongst various drug users – and producers. In ancient Mexico the use of alcohol was punishable by death, while the ritualistic use of mescaline was highly worshipped.

In Prussia, coffee drinking was prohibited to the lower classes, the use of tobacco and alcohol was legal. ↗
