The War on Drugs is a campaign of prohibition and foreign military aid and military intervention being undertaken by the United States government, with the assistance of participating countries, intended to both define and reduce the illegal drug trade. This initiative includes a set of drug policies of the United States that are intended to discourage the production, distribution, and consumption of illegal psychoactive drugs. The term "War on Drugs" was first used by President Richard Nixon in 1971.
On May 13, 2009, Gil Kerlikowske, the current Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), signaled that although it did not plan to significantly alter drug enforcement policy, the Obama administration would not use the term "War on Drugs," as he claims it is "counter-productive". ONDCP's view is that "drug addiction is a disease that can be successfully prevented and treated... making drugs more available will make it harder to keep our communities healthy and safe."(2011)
Here's the tempo, dude
Geoff play it
Yeah
Oooh, yeah
I've been jailed
And my phone's been bugged
But I'm still winning the war on drugs
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Now in my backyard I've got a stock of suhimas
Like my cocaine with tequila
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Now ATF, and that DEA
They busted down my door,
But I was out of town that day
Oh yeah (uh huh), oh yeah
Oh yeah, (whoo), oh yeah
Now I only smoke the cronic
No I never smoke for stress
I get high with the help of Federal Express
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Everybody, oh yeah, oh yeah
Cause I've been jailed and my phone's been bugged
But I'm still winning the war on drugs
That's right...
