dec 24, 1919 - National Prohibition of Alcohol
Description:
In 1920 the United States made it illegal to transport, manufacture, sell or consume alcohol under the 18th amendment. This prohibition lasted until 1933. This forced Americans to created a black market for alcohol. The 1920's was also the start of the "pharmacological revolution", where the development of synthetic chemicals led to using them in the treatment of mental illness.Added to timeline:
