"During the latter part of the twentieth century, illicit drugs have become the scourge of the civilized world threatening not only the health and life of the community but the very fabric of the society in which we live.
Their use commands the attention of governments, politicians, businessmen, in fact, everyone down to the man and woman in the street.
Drugs are of concern to everyone.
They kill, they maim, they destroy quality of life. They undermine economies, wreck families and both promote and sustain many types of criminal activity.
The drug habit recognizes no barriers of color, race, creed, politics, sex, age, social standing-in fact the habit respects nothing and no-one."
