US drug laws don't have much to do with South America.
But they have a lot to do with the Middle East.
Since that's were Hash and Heroine were invented, not South America.


Actually heroine was invented in Germany.


Heroin (diacetylmorphine) was introduced by Bayer. Ironically, it was
hoped to be a less addictive substitute for morphine. It's a derivative
of the natural alkaloid morphine, but does not occur in nature.

Hash is a plant secretion, more discovered than invented.
