  • The Evolution of the Regulation of the Medical Uses of Psychedelic Drugs and Marijuana

Consumers as well as physicians could purchase whatever drugs they chose without prescriptions.7 Medicines did not need to identify their contents.8 Research protocols did not need to be given prior approval by any Federal agency.9 Patients did not need to sign “informed consent forms” outlining the risks of participating in the research protocol.10 Protocols did not need to be approved by local Institutional Review Boards (IRB).11 No state had yet established its own review 4Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906. 59 P.L. 384; 59 Cong. Ch. 3915; 34 Stat. 768. June 30, 1906. 5In 1889, the Supreme Court upheld the right of States to require licenses for physicians, which were to be obtained from State Boards of Health. Dent v. West Virginia, 129 U.S. 114 (1889). Justice Field, delivering the opinion of the Court, stated, “The power of the State to provide for the general welfare of its people authorizes it to prescribe all such regulations as, in its judgment, will secure or tend to secure them against the consequences of ignorance and incapacity as well as of deception and fraud.“ 6Around the turn of the century, almost all pharmacists were licensed by State Boards.
