The first illegal drugs were plant products. Opium and cocaine were the first drugs made illegal. Since these were used for thousands of years prior to their illegality in the United States, it is impossible to say that they were invented by anyone. Additionally, because of their use since antiquity, it is unknown who discovered these substances.

It is not accurate to say that any one person "invented" illegal drugs. Substance use has been a part of human history for thousands of years, and various substances have been used recreationally, medicinally, and ritually in different cultures. The classification of certain drugs as illegal is a modern legal and societal construct.
