I'm interested in learning more about the 'war on drugs'. Do you have any suggestions?

I can tell you a little bit about the history of the war on drugs. The first drug laws were passed in 1914, and they were aimed at opium and cocaine. In the 1930s, there was an effort to pass laws against marijuana, but it failed because people didn’t think it was a problem. In 1971, President Nixon declared a War on Drugs, which included a focus on marijuana.
