The War on Drugs The War on Drugs is a term coined by President Richard M. Nixon. Was it a real war, in the introduction the question was asked “But if the deployment of soldiers is a requirement to wage war who is the enemy in the War on drugs?” The answer to the question is yes. In the 1980’s the US deployed Soldiers to South America in support of Counter Drug operations. The war on drugs begins in the 1970, with the intent to stop civil unrest and to provide assistance to our Soldiers…

In September 2013 members of the United States Senate met to discuss mandatory minimum prison terms and during the hearings someone asked about the definition of a Kingpin. There exists no legal definition of a Kingpin in the United States. There exists no definition that explains how much drugs must be sold or managed before a person is called a Kingpin. There exist no specific dollar amount of drugs to be sold or a specified period of time before a person is called a Kingpin. So what makes…

Shields say “I may have grown old, but I’ll never grow up” (Shields, 82). For me I think the same as Shields said. It is true that we become old but the fact that we do not want to admit it. Everyone wants to go back for being young. They are old in bodies but their mind is still young. I think this is due to the fact that when you admit that you are old there is nothing left for you to do. Your body became weak but your mind still the same, however it will eventually become harder to remember…

The origins of such a conflict are cloudy. The first anti-drug laws were passed well before Richard Nixon declared drugs public enemy number one, but for a completely different reason then what you may think. The earliest anti-opium laws were passed in the 1870s. You may ask yourself why they would only target opium, and the answer to this question has everything to do with race. These early drug laws were aimed more towards the Chinese immigrants entering the country than the opium that they…
