National Drug Control Strategy

In view of the data in the Office of the National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and its Data Supplement, I chose the 2010 National Drug Control Strategy report. It’s interesting to note that at that time drug overdose deaths surpassed gunshot deaths in the United States.

The latter statistic once again proves the abuse and severity that drugs have on our society and why we must continually find innovative solutions to eliminating the problem.
