The drugs have been an issue in the United States for very long time and fighting it is very difficult mission for the government so far because the US government is fighting drugs internally and externally. Which means that the United States is fighting the drug organizations in other countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Bolivia, and many other countries. But there are issues with cooperation between the US government and other governments because not every country have same laws and strict rules as the United States. Drug organizations take advantage of weak states such as Mexico, Afghanistan, Colombia, panama, and Peru because the governments in these countries are not able to fight these drug organizations. The war on drugs in Colombia affected the cultivatable land because the US Aide and the Colombian government used pesticide to kill the coca plants. But even with all of the efforts and spending, the cocaine was still being produced and moved throughout Colombia. The United States government provided training to the Colombian Military and police in order to be able to fight these organizations under the Colombian Plan. The United States have zero tolerance for drugs because the source of drugs is unknown and terrorist organizations might use drugs to obtain profits which will give them the ability to use the money to conduct attacks inside the United States. The Cooperation is going, but it is not perfect there are always challenges. The problem in the countries that host the drug organizations is that there are corrupt personnel in these governments that facilitate the movement of drugs or provide the means necessary to keep the drug flow going smoothly. The United States government spending millions of dollars every year to be part of the international drug control efforts. Drug organizations are like cancer and it is very difficult to fight because they are well funded and organized. The drugs does not only undermine the economy but it causes social issues and destroy the American way of life. Especially if the youth get addicted to using drugs then the entire generation will be useless and will result in regression in the growth of the country. Drugs can cause lives, and property for the user or people around them.
