Question.3478 - What are your overall reactions to the chapters and lectures? What is something you found new or interesting about this material?As part of your response: Many people aren't aware of the history of drug laws in the United States. One of the key points of this history was the reinterpretation of the Harrison Act (originally passed in 1914) in 1919 which led to 75000 arrests between 1919 and 1929. Quoting the text: "Thus, the use of opioids and cocaine was effectively criminalized for the first time, not because that was the intent of the 1914 Harrison Act, but because of the Narcotics Division's interpretation of it" (Hart & Ksir, 2022, p. 72-73, italics mine). What does this passage mean to you when it comes to drug policy throughout US history since 1914 and/or today?
