The United States has been in a war with the drugs since the Reagan presidency in the late 80's calling it "a national crusade against drugs."This superficial war is trying to reduce the amount of drugs consumed by Americans by stopping drug productions coming from place like Colombia, and by interdicting drug supplies before they enter the country. Although they have made a lot of effort to control this, the situation has gotten worst increasing the consumption to higher levels and not lowering them at all.

The United States has been in a war with the drugs since the Reagan presidency announcing a national crusade against drugs in the late 80’s. This discursive war is trying to reduce the amount of drugs consumed by Americans by stopping drug production in countries like Colombia, and by blocking the importation. Ironically the Federal government’s efforts to stern drug abuse have only made the nations consumption level worse. According to the National Drug Policy Information Clearinghouse in 1988 22.2% of the American population consumed drugs, and in 2001 this percentage raised to 28.4%.
