Timeline

1867

Hamilton Kemp Wright (2 August 1867 – 9 January 1917) was an American physician and pathologist who served as the United States Opium Commissioner.

Hamilton Wright was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on August 2, 1867.

1875

His wife, Elizabeth Washburne (1875-1952), continued Wright's work after his death in 1917 as an assessor to the League of Nations Opium Advisory Committee until 1920s; although, the British Foreign Office called her "incompetent, prejudiced, ignorant, and so constituted temperamentally as to afford a ready means of mischief-making."

1895

He graduated with a degree in medicine (MD CM) from McGill University in Montreal, in 1895.

He served at a McGill-affiliated hospital in Montreal for one year, then spent two years in China and Japan, studying scientific, social, and economic conditions.

1897

In 1897, he received the British Medical Association Studentship for research on the nervous system.

1900

In 1900–1903, he served upon a special mission in India, studying tropical diseases.

In 1900 he was appointed as the first director of the Pathological Institute located in Kuala Lumpur in the Federated Malay States (now the Institute for Medical Research).

1903

He returned to the United States in 1903.

He made his name by supposedly finding a pathogen that "caused" beri-beri (before it was discovered to be a vitamin deficiency).

He authored many articles and monographs on the nervous system, as well as on the social and economic problems in the tropics.

1908

He was appointed by U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt as United States Opium Commissioner on July 1, 1908.

1909

In February 1909, he served as U.S. delegate to the International Opium Commission in Shanghai, China.

1910

In 1910, Wright sought out Vermont representative David Foster, a chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, to sponsor a bill controlling opiates, cocaine, chloral, and cannabis.

1911

He served at the follow-on conference at The Hague in 1911.

William Howard Taft saw that the U.S. could capitalize on the Chinese market if it would join forces with them in combating their opium problem.

The problem was, the U.S. didn't have its own house in order.

As a result, Wright became the first of many U.S. anti-drug crusaders.

"Of all the nations of the world, the United States consumes most habit-forming drugs per capita," Wright said in 1911, calling opium "the most pernicious drug known to humanity."

The bill failed in 1911.

Wright's peers would note that his powers of persuasion were often seen as refractory and impudent, as though he was the specialist entrusted with "the interests of humanity at large".

His reputation notwithstanding, however, Wright would gain favor with the New Yorker Democrat Francis Burton Harrison in revising the failed Foster Bill.

1915

This bill would pass in December 1914 and came into effect on 1 March 1915 as the Harrison Act.

Historians credit the passing of the bill to limited public discussion by virtue of minimal press coverage.
