War on Drugs, representatives Cori Bush (D-MO) want remembrance to accompany radical change. On Tuesday, the Congresswomen unveiled the Drug Policy Reform Act a federal bill that would decriminalize drug possession and end punitive practices in favor of health-centered approaches.  The origins of the Nixon Administration’s War on Drugs is traced back to a press conference held on June 17, 1971, during which then-President Richard Nixon named drug abuse as “public enemy number one” and declared that “in order to fight and defeat this enemy, it is necessary to wage a new, all-out offensive.” What followed was a sweeping government initiative that implemented punitive responses to drug use and possession, including an increase in federal drug agencies, mandatory sentencing, and no-knock warrants, according to the Drug Policy Alliance, which partnered with Coleman and Bush in crafting the bill.
