About the War on Drugs
The "War on Drugs" movement really took hold in the 1970s as a government-led initiative that aimed to stop illegal drug use and distribution. Was it a failure? It depends on who you ask, as it was designed to achieve certain goals. (Tip: Think about when you first heard about the War on Drugs. How did that source shape what comes to mind when you think about the War on Drugs then? How about now?)

While this is one of the first legal battles addressing cannabis use since adult-use became legal in New Jersey, it won't be the last.
