		Of course, responding to the zany politics of drug control, the president, in the past, fired a surgeon general who dared to suggest that drug abuse was more of a medical than a criminal problem Now, by appointing a man of McCaffrey's stature, Clinton finessed Republican efforts to nail him as being soft on drugs.

	The anti-drugwar czar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The FBI tally for 2004 says there were 9,832 arrests for drug law violations in Nevada, but the state documentation says the tally was 10,708 in one of the tables in the document, but says there were 11,190 drug arrests in another part.
		The primary source of drug use data among the general population is the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (latest version) and some really handy information about the use of various drugs and timeframes of use is in the very first table in Appendix H.
		So our drug czar is trumpeting a new campaign to accomplish very little in the name of combatting an issue that involves an extraordinarily small portion of the population.

		According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy, it is common for marijuana to be laced with PCP or embalming fluid, both of which produce a hallucinogenic effect (psychedelic apparitions or feelings of euphoria or rage).
		The education and awareness about this drug trend is vital to the public, whether to inform parents, caregivers, or teens about the dangerous additive in some marijuana joints, or to warn current marijuana users about the increased immediate and harmful effects.
		Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug among 8th, 9th and 10th graders in the United States, according to the 2001 Monitoring the Future Survey by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.

	Drug War History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		America's first "czar" was an Energy Czar (John Love) appointed by President Nixon in 1973 during the gas crisis, and American government has also had an AIDS czar, a Land-Use czar, a Food czar, a Privacy czar, a Manufacturing czar, and a Counterintelligence czar.
		It's obvious that the political appointment of a czar is intended for when some social crisis befalls the nation, but another meaning is the unfortunate legacy of its relationship to other terms, like "caesar" or "fuhrer," which signifies a strong man whose orders are to be obeyed without question.
		The primary role of a drug czar, however, is to be the nation's spokesperson on drug policy.

	Salon.com Health \| Portrait of a drug czar
		Barry McCaffrey is the country's most-decorated general, its longest-serving drug czar and, now, an architect of a U.S.-backed counterinsurgency campaign that on Wednesday took him and President Clinton to Colombia.
		Entering office, he delighted drug policy reformers by emphasizing treatment, condemning harsh sentencing guidelines that disproportionately hurt minorities and casting aside the term "drug war." He preferred to call drug abuse a "malignancy" whose cure would require a balanced and sustained attack.
		Despite his image as a hardcore drug buster, he has helped get addicts easier access to methadone, pushed for drug courts that sentence addicts to treatment instead of hard time and is seen as a friend by treatment programs.

	Drug Policy Alliance: Move Would Let Drug Czar Campaign
		House Republicans are attempting to lift long-standing restrictions on a $1 billion anti-drug advertising program in a move that would allow the White House to use taxpayer funds to engage in partisan political activities and campaign against candidates or ballot measures favoring the legalization of drugs.
		Bill Piper, associate director of national affairs at the Drug Policy Alliance, said "this would be like the [Internal Revenue Service] running ads against tax-cut proposals and the candidates that support them.
		In an April 21 opinion which found that Walters was likely immune from complying with state campaign laws as a federal official, the state’s attorney general, Brian Sandoval, nonetheless concluded that "it is unfortunate that a representative of the federal government substantially intervened in a matter that was clearly a State of Nevada issue.

		That made the drugs trade harder to disrupt since individual cells that were put out of commission by law enforcement agencies could easily be replaced.

		Walters said this approach flowed from Bush's understanding that drug addiction was a disease and had to be attacked as such.

	Salon News \| Prime-time propaganda (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Two years ago, Congress inadvertently created an enormous financial incentive for TV programmers to push anti-drug messages in their plots -- as much as $25 million in the past year and a half, with the promise of even more to come in the future.
		Under the sway of the office of President Clinton's drug czar, Gen. Barry R. McCaffrey, some of America's most popular shows -- including "ER," "Beverly Hills 90210," "Chicago Hope," "The Drew Carey Show" and "7th Heaven" -- have filled their episodes with anti-drug pitches to cash in on a complex government advertising subsidy.
		So the drug czar's office, the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), presented the networks with a compromise: The office would give up some of that precious ad time it had bought -- in return for getting anti-drug motifs incorporated within specific prime-time shows.
