Between 1960 and 1980 various administrations attempted to deal with a rising tide of illicit drug use that was unprecedented in US history. This is a close look at the politics and bureaucracy of drug control policy during those years, showing how they changed during the presidencies of Johnson, Nixon, Ford and Carter and how much current federal drug-control policies owe to those earlier efforts.
