It was just 40 years ago today, October 14, 1982, that President Ronald Reagan declared the War on Drugs, a serious issue that had long plagued America and the rest of the world. This was not the first War on Drugs that the United States had declared, several Presidents have made attempts to control different types of illegal substances. Real wars have been fought over the control and trade of narcotics and other various stimulants since the dawn of civilization. However, it was Reagans declaration that not only sought to control the trafficking in the United States but where it was produced as well.

There are various notions on whether or not the War on Drugs has been a success. As long as there is a demand, its hard for the government to control anything. However, though strict enforcement might not have had the greatest effects so far, the question remains, what should we do then? Currently, we are still facing age-old problems, but will there be a solution?
