The war on drugs started as a campaign, led by the U.S. federal government, of drug prohibition, military aid, and military intervention, with the stated aim being to reduce the illegal drug trade in the United States. The initiative includes a set of drug policies that are intended to discourage the production, distribution, and consumption of psychoactive drugs that the participating governments and the UN have made illegal, and encourage rehab in austin tx. The term was popularized by the media shortly after a press conference given on June 18, 1971, by President Richard Nixon, during which he declared drug abuse “public enemy number one”.
