The History Channel’s Hooked: Illegal Drugs and How They Got That Way takes us through America’s obsessions with drugs, from 19th century opium and cocaine addictions up to modern day problems with LSD, amphetamines, and ecstasy. Hooked shows us how preconceived (and often wrong) racial and ethnic prejudices formed many of the first laws banning drugs like heroin, morphine, and cocaine in the early 20th century, and how immigration issues in Depression-era America outlawed marijuana.
