Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The Narcotics Division in the Treasury department had been small and focused mainly on opium smuggling. Prohibition created a larger enforcement arm within Treasury, and Narcotics was placed under that. This agency now took a prohibition approach to narcotics, trying to prevent users from getting them. They closed down treatment clinics and arrested many physicians and pharmacists who supplied drugs to dependent users. Bonus: This was not due to a change in drug laws, but to a restructuring of the bureaucracy.
