NOW..In the present..
"DEA
By 1979, 26 million Americans
were considered regular drug users.
DEA Special Agents
1975.....2,135
1980.....1,941
DEA Budget
1975.....$140.9 million
1980.....$206.6 million
During this period, drug use in America escalated,
and by 1979, 26 million Americans were considered
regular drug users. Government policies urged law
enforcement organizations to de-emphasize
marijuana and cocaine investigations in favor of
increased heroin enforcement activities. Because
marijuana and cocaine were not considered high
priorities for law enforcement agencies, many
Americans believed they were free to use both drugs.
Consequently, cocaine and marijuana use became
widespread throughout the United States."
