An invitation from the Netherlands

Despite the prohibltory law Of
1903, which makes II illegal to bring
into the United States smoking opium.
opium smoking still prevails in this
country to an alarming oxtont and is
finding its new victims largely In the
white population This is made possi'
BILE partially by drug smuggled from
Canada and along the Pacific coast,
and partly by the manufacture OF
smoking opium in this country from
crude opium brought in as a medicinal
drug, OF this smuggled article more
than 250,000 pounds have been seized
in the last two years. In 1910 more
than 100000 pounds OF the drug we're
brought in as medicinal opium. II is
estimated that at least 100000 pounds
we're successfully smuggled across
the border in 1870 and that 10000 ad'
ditional pounds are manufactured an
nually from crude opium.
These figures represent a decrease
in the amount of smoking opium used,
but they do not show another effect
of the law-the increased use Of co
caine, morphine and other opium de
rivatives. For as the drug victims
have found opium harder to obtain,
they have turned to cocaine and NOR
phine.
