精神活性药物的限制和禁止通常遵循一种反动的模式。从烟草到LSD，新型药物的引入促进了治疗实验。直到这些物质也成为流行的娱乐性麻醉品，官员们才表现出一点关注。近代早期的医生把烟草用作伤口药膏是一回事，朝臣和水手在酒馆和妓院里吸食烟草又是另一回事。反应采取了谴责、禁令和惩罚的形式。最终，大多数禁令让位于征税，受管制的商业，就像烟草一样。但随后一种新药出现沿着，这一过程又将开始。精神药物是现代历史的藤壶，不断污染民族国家的外壳。毒品管制是出于清除毒品的冲动。
Psychoactive drug restrictions and prohibitions have typically followed a reactionary pattern. From tobacco to LSD, the introduction of novel drugs has prompted therapeutic experimentation. Officials showed little concern until these substances also became popular recreational intoxicants. It was one thing for early modern physicians to apply tobacco as a wound salve, quite another for courtiers and sailors to smoke it in taverns and bordellos. Reaction took the form of denunciations, bans, and punishments. Eventually, most bans gave way to taxed, regulated commerce, as also happened with tobacco. But then a new drug would come along and the process would begin again. Psychoactive drugs were the barnacles of modern history, continuously fouling the hulls of nation-states. Drug control was born of the impulse to scrape them off.
