Who was the person who made drugs?

no to sure. but it could be a scientist

Do you mean as in invented them - or "manufactures them" - different answers.

We need a bit more info really - do you have a specific drug in mind?

Many drugs are not invented - they already existed before man showed up, so they are really "discovered". For example, the resin from the opium poppy, cannabis, tobacco, coffee (caffeine) and a whole raft of other plant based drugs that include everything from things like belladonna (deadly nightshade) which is used for heart treatment, the bark of the willow tree (same active ingredient as aspirin) through to khat - and coca leaves (cocaine albeit in a crude state).

So, some drugs are discovered, some are made artifically - but are you after the name of the person who made the first synthetic drug or an exhaustive list of people who invent or make them?
