At the time people were using all kinds of other bittering ingredients other than hops, and some of them turned out to be poisonous.

I think it is sad everybody was forced into using just hops. What about marsh rosemary? yarrow? mugwort? research: 'gruit'

No one is forbidden to use other ingredients, but if you use them, you are not allowed to call it "beer". Call it something else and it is total legal.
