Darn, and I thought that was just a straight forward question. So, maybe a look at the exact wording of your question?

When was the trade in cocaine made illegal in the US at the federal level?

So, this is either a specific wording for only or including the word "trade" or even traffic in the law.
Or, a trick in that it is some agreements among governments about the traffic of drugs.
Wait, maybe it isn't specifically a federal law as illegal to "trade" but it is to have possession?
Then, again, it could be that it is illegal for only one or some forums of cocaine, but not the cocaine powder?
I just got lost in my thinking.
