The "War on Drugs" is a prohibition campaign undertaken by the United States government with the assistance of participating countries, intended to "combat" the illegal drug trade — to curb supply and diminish demand for certain psychoactive substances deemed harmful by the government. This initiative includes a set of laws and policies that are intended to discourage the production, distribution, and consumption of targeted substances.
