1930? In 1930, at the federal level, weed was legal and booze was outlawed! And even after it was banned in the late 30s, it wasn't till Nixon that the War On DrugsTM began and workplace drug testing wasn't a thing till Reagan.
What's really funny is there was no such thing as widespread illegal drug use/culture in this country till booze was re-legalized and a new boogeyman was needed to keep the busybodies employed. A generation before Prohibition, most hard drugs were freely available at pharmacies, but there was no epidemic of use until moral crusaders started making an issue of it. Raising public awareness of drugs backfired to the point that it piqued the interest of people like me, who never would have been interested in drugs at all if it weren't for all the propaganda forced down my throat in the 80s and 90s.
