The two most important factors that led to the regulation of drugs in the twentieth century were the abuse of patented medicines, and drug use by minority groups (Levinthal, 2012).

The first important aspect to address is that the term "patent" did not have the same meaning as is does today. In the early 1900's the only thing that led to a drug being called a patent drug was that it was a drug which was sold to the public, which is much different than today's definition of patent being that someone has been given the right by a government to sell a product or invention (Dictionary, n.d.).

The types of patent drugs that were abused during these times contained alcohol, opium, morphine, cocaine, and marijuana (Levinthal, 2012). These drugs were sold primarily as pain killers by traveling salesmen. The abuse of these drugs, combined with the improper handling of sold foods led to the first drug and food regulation in 1906 called the Pure Food and Drug Act, which required ingredients to be listed on all food and drugs, however, it did not prevent drugs from being sold (Levinthal, 2012).

In the second half of the twentieth century, regulation was being argued for, due to the rise in prejudice against minority groups believed to be involved in drug use. Propaganda was launched suggesting minority groups would take these drugs and rape white women, or that they were immune to certain bullets when under the influence of cocaine. This led to further support of the Pure Food and Drug Act.

The present-day abuse of patent drugs and the association of drug use with minority groups became a big concern for the country. There are two important factors that illustrate why the movement toward drug regulation was necessary in the early Twentieth Century (Levinthal, 2012). First, of all the United States has no agency to regulate the medical field. However, with this being said it was easy for a person to act as a doctor or pharmacists. In eighteen-forty seven the American Medical Association (AMA) was built up yet just a few of the specialist were members. The specialists of this period needed to depend on both physical and mental issues. A second factor was the issue of states' rights. Amid the nineteenth century, the predominant political logic was a faith in the strict division of state and government powers, particularly in the southern states. In this way the controls of medications were left to the states, a large portion of which had scarcely any, tranquilize laws. For the central government to pass laws constraining the utilization of any medication would have been viewed as a genuine test to the idea of states' rights.
The two common drugs used in patent medicines were morphine and cocaine. Morphine altered how the Western world managed pain. In spite of the fact that morphine was usually used to ease in excess of fifty illnesses in the post-Civil War period, the medical group was not so much insensible of its addictive side effects. In spite of the writing in medical journals encompassing morphine's potential for habit, such fixation was not viewed as a national epidemic toward the end of the nineteenth century. Numerous famous individuals of the early twentieth century, including Sigmund Freud and the Pope, were cocaine users (Redford, 2016). In spite of the fact that cocaine is gotten from the coca plant, which has been being used for no less than three thousand years, its advanced incarnation just showed up around the eighteen hundreds. Accessible in numerous structures, including dissolving it into wine, it was recommended by specialists to treat sadness and morphine dependence. In America, it was well known as a treatment for coughs and pain and was broadly incorporated into early forms of Coca-Cola until 1903. Although technically restricted by the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act in nineteen- fourteen convictions for cocaine utilization was uncommon, and only became common after it was listed as a controlled substance in nineteen seventy.
