Watch to learn more.

Richard Nixon first coined the phrase “War on Drugs” in 1971 at a time when the country was involved in social turmoil associated with the Vietnam War. People were using illegal drugs due to the civil unrest, and the government attempted to end the import, manufacture, sale and use of illegal drugs in this nation. However, because of the federal government’s “War on Drugs,” laws about drug became so stringent that they produced some of the most serious penalties the law has imposed on civilized man – laws that compromise the personal liberties our forefathers provided for us in the Constitution.
