Limited gains in two-pronged attack on drugs
Article Abstract:
The US Office of National Drug Control Policy headed by Bob Martinez set up by Pres George Bush in 1989 has been criticised for failing to reduce drug imports from Latin America sufficiently. The department's aim is to quash drug sources and supplies and reduce US demand through education and medical treatment. The first drugs summit with Latin America was at Cartegena in Feb 1990. Over $2.2 billion has been spent quashing the Bolivian, Colombian and Peruvian drug industries. Cocaine drug addicts has decreased by 35% since 1990 but heroin addiction has increased.
