You are, of course, aware that Ronald Reagan basically created the modern WOD by expanding the DEA, and Nixon's initial efforts, right?

Guess my sarcasm wasn't that obvious.

Yes, I know all about Ronald Reagan and his tough stance on illegal drugs. Intervention and incarceration works well indeed. Nancy's "just say no" effort for children and teenagers worked well too. For the most part, America's National Drug Control Policy has been a success. And it was Nixon who created the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. The term "war on drugs" is only used by the pro-drug legalization contingent of libertarians and lost souls.
