Basically all illegal drugs started as legal drugs aka medicine (Opium, Morphine, Heroin, etc). The distinction is a relatively recent development. Even today a drug store is a reputable business. A drug den not so much.
There is an exemption to drug laws for Coca Cola, carved out 100 years ago. You can import coca if you are going to reduce the cocaine from it. Maywood Chemical Works in new jersey decocainifies all of Coca Cola’s cocaine so they can include the flavoring in their syrup.
It’s actually not quite an exception, because cocaine is a Schedule II drug (can be prescribed as a vasoconstrictor or topical anesthetic) and the Maywood plant is the only facility licensed to produce pharmaceutical grade cocaine in the US.
