Overview

This volume contains the official record of the hearings before a U.S. Congressional committee in May 1910 concerning proposed legislation related to the importation and use of opium. Specifically, the hearings address H.R. 25240, H.R. 25241, and H.R. 25242. These documents provide a unique window into the legislative process and the social concerns surrounding narcotics at the beginning of the 20th century. The discussions offer insights into the complexities of regulating a substance with both medicinal and recreational uses. The testimony and debates reflect evolving attitudes towards drug control that would eventually lead to landmark legislation like the Harrison Act of 1914. Researchers and historians will find valuable primary source material in ""Importation and Use of Opium,"" shedding light on the early development of American drug policy and its lasting impact.
