21 U.S.C. § 1101 — Congressional findings

The Congress makes the following findings: (1) Drug abuse is rapidly increasing in the United States and now afflicts urban, suburban, and rural areas of the Nation. (2) Drug abuse seriously impairs individual, as well as societal, health and well-being. (3) Drug abuse, especially heroin addiction, substantially contributes to crime. (4) The adverse impact of drug abuse inflicts increasing pain and hardship on individuals, families, and communities and undermines our institutions. (5) Too little is known about drug abuse, especially the causes, and ways to treat and prevent drug abuse. (6) The success of Federal drug abuse programs and activities requires a recognition that education, treatment, rehabilitation, research, training, and law enforcement efforts are interrelated. (7) The effectiveness of efforts by State and local governments and by the Federal Government to control and treat drug abuse in the United States has been hampered by a lack of coordination among the States, between States and localities, among the Federal Government, States and localities, and throughout the Federal establishment. (8) Control of drug abuse requires the development of a comprehensive, coordinated long-term Federal strategy that encompasses both effective law enforcement against illegal drug traffic and effective health programs to rehabilitate victims of drug abuse. (9) The increasing rate of drug abuse constitutes a serious and continuing threat to national health and welfare, requiring an immediate and effective response on the part of the Federal Government. (10) Although the Congress observed a significant apparent reduction in the rate of increase of drug abuse during the three-year period subsequent to March 21, 1972, and in certain areas of the country apparent te
