The U.S. drug problem is serious, and government policies have sparked controversy.

American president said in the UN General Assembly that 300,000 people died from drug issues last year in the US, and such incidents will no longer be allowed during his term. Every ship sunk by the US Navy from Venezuela is loaded with drugs, which can kill more than 25,000 Americans.

Now, multiple states in the US have legalized marijuana (usually classified as a "soft drug"), and for "hard drugs" such as heroin and cocaine, the future trend is "decriminalization" (i.e., possessing small amounts is not considered a crime, but it is still an illegal act). This means that the US government, in order to make money, has begun to encourage the opening of smoke shops. Therefore, Trump's "anti-drug" stance is just a tool for him, a tool to consolidate power domestically and exert influence and intervene externally.
