Factual, accurate information on drug abuse and the Federal drug laws is an essential weapon in all areas of the Federal effort to control drug abuse in the U.S. The vital need for complete and readily available information exists in all of the five major elements of the national strategy to prevent drug abuse and drug trafficking -- international cooperation, education and prevention, treatment, research, and law enforcement. The foundation of the Federal fight against drugs is the Controlled Substances Act. This law is a consolidation of numerous laws regulating the manufacture and distribution of narcotics, stimulants, depressants, and hallucinogens. The urgency of stemming the use of drugs is exacerbated by the fact that intravenous drug abusers make up about 31 percent of the total reported cases of AIDS.
