Anti-Opium League

The Anti-Opium League was an organization that emerged in the early 20th century advocating for the reduction and regulation of opium and other drug use. Its primary goal was to combat the widespread illegal drug trade and address the social problems associated with drug addiction. The league played a role in raising awareness about the dangers of opium, influencing policies and international agreements aimed at controlling drug production, distribution, and consumption. While motivated by public health concerns, its efforts also reflected the moral and political attitudes of the time toward drug use and addiction.
