i believe it was in the 50's,
LSD was legal in the 60's


JustMy Opinion
they were once legal???


angler
60's and 70's the so called establishment detested them.But a
lot of them we're using them


Megs
Anywhere from the 50s until the 80s. But only if the drug companies aren't benefitting. The only good drugs are taxable drugs.

October 1, 1937 is when they made it illegal to grow or transfer any form of cannabis in the U.S., the mid 20's is when Heroin was made illegal


?
in the US cannabis was officially made illegal in the late sixties. the interesting thing is that for a couple of years before it wasnt illegal but you had to have a permit to possess it, of course the government never granted a permit. i know that you asked for the time period for the UK but i havent gotten around to researching the history of illegal drugs outside the US. sorry.


pb&j
after ww2 marijuana was illegal because they felt it would start a revolt within the country. after that, every drug discovered was made illegal

Pot - 1937ish
Heroin - 1915ish
Acid - 1968ish
Extacy - 1985ish
Those are the drugs i think are most commonly used, besides prescription drugs which are only legal to those prescribed for.
The next legal drug that i think will be made illegal is DXM(active ingredient in cough medicine) and Salvia ( a legal herb) Because all good things start off legal, then they become illegal

Stinkbug B
