Abstract
Incentives to motivate the prohibition of drugs, often had no relation to the actual drug effects. In respect of substances which are now public, such as chocolate and tobacco, strict prohibitions were reinforced by violent punishment. Despite these prohibitions and the extreme of severe punishment, use of tobacco and coffee did not stop, but on the contrary, increased and it became the custom. Historically the public reaction to the drugs and psychoactive substances represents a set of cultural, religious, political and economic factors, and not a simple concern regarding the pharmacological and psychoactive effects. Based on this understanding, it is necessary to consider more robust action against the chronic problem of drug abuse, which affects the United States.
