Pretty poppies and prohibitions: the consequences of the first US drug policies
University of West Florida Libraries
Student Scholar Symposium & Faculty Research Showcase (University of West Florida, Pensacola, Florida, 2021)

Abstract
Opium is the proverbial thread traveling through smuggling lines, like sutures closing a wound, simultaneously binding the United States and Mexico and permanently scarring each side.
The opium poppy is where America's fight against drugs began. US Policies attempting to eradicate opium created an environment ripe for domestic smuggling and encouraged opium smuggling from Mexico.
