Because it was profitable to a lot of people to outlaw them. That was why weed was crushed back in the day and alot of other drugs were removed or made illegal when it became a opponent to up and growing pharmaceutical companies.
Look at the hard drugs are still used today, Opium derivatives used in surgeries, Meth prescribed to kids with adhd etc
Amphetamines are not all methamphetamine, and opiates are only a problem because they are prescribed in way too high of an amount for even minor pain. I had minor surgery that was outpatient and didn't really hurt at all, and they prescribed me 75 pills of hydro with a refill when I was like 16.
That doesn't mean we should make recreational drugs legal. Also, if you don't think that pharma companies would immediately start manufacturing the purest hard drugs on the market and making billions if the drugs were legal everywhere, I have a bridge to sell you.
I think you misunderstood my position, I'm not saying that all drugs should be legal I'm just pointing out they were used in many medical forms back in the day and while illegal to the general public they are still used (usually under patent now) in that setting.
Again look at weed, why was it banned? Clearly wasn't reefer madness, because it's quasi legal in most of the country and people aren't losing their minds. And that's saying something especially with the purity and extractions you can get nowadays.
And that's alot of drugs too, why were they put on scheduled lists? What were they competing against? It's interesting to dive into without saying all drugs should be legal, which they shouldn't. I don't need to be able to buy opium on a street corner, but it's a curious question why did the world survive just fine when you could?
The world "survived just fine" without a lot of things like running water and electricity. Sometimes the answer is simply "it's better this way"
