 Australian Parliamentary Library - Background Paper 12 1996-97
Australia's illicit drug laws were slow to develop and evolved in response to three stimuli: anti-Chinese prejudice in the late 19th century, international treaties and the influence of Australia's allies such as the United States, and the growth of recreational and dependent use of illicit drugs in the 1960s and 1970s.
Illicit drugs continue to be seen by Australians as the major component of the drug problem(8) and are the subject of this paper.
For the illicit drugs, the average amount allocated for amphetamine/cocaine/heroin use was $45.70 for education, $26.50 for treatment and $27.80 for law enforcement.

The most recent major American supply reduction strategy is "eradication at the source." This policy was created in part because of the lack of success in controlling supply through traditional domestic enforcement and international interdiction and in part because advanced technology seemed to make it more feasible than before.
We can point to the arrest of individuals who traffic in illicit drugs as a benefit, at least in the small percentage of cases where arrest is followed by conviction and punishment But we cannot point to drug enforcement generally and argue that it has had a dramatically successful impact in prohibiting these activities.
