This article is so sloppy I couldn't even find where the article supports the title.
Very biased toward pro-drug legalization. Should be neutral. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.153.16.17 ( talk) 00:35, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
I have removed the following paragraph from the article
The sources for these claims are the George Washington University National Security Archive, Cockburn and St. Clair's book Whiteout, and New York Times excerpts from the indepent counsel's Iran-Contra Report. The Iran-Contra report mentions nothing about Contra drug smuggling and is irrelevant to the article. Whiteout's chapters on Contra smuggling are largely a repetition of Gary Webb's "Dark Alliance" series with some errors and inaccuracies. The NS Archive materials do deal with some smuggling claims, but are not adequate for actual smuggling and quantities of cocaine, say nothing about the use of US government aircraft or U.S. military facilities, and do not reflect the results of the federal investigations undertaken after Webb's "Dark Alliance" was published (the Archive materials were were compiled in 1996-7, before these investigations had issued their reports). In addition to the inadequacies of the sources, the relevance of these claims to the issues of federal drug policy in the United States is low. Hence the deletion.

Hey there everyone.
Does anyone else think that the very first paragraphs of this article are... strange? Out of place? Kind of unrelated to the topic at hand, even? It's certainly disjointed, if nothing else. The whole article is all over the goddamned place, but if we're gonna start somewhere, the introduction really ought to be made cohesive.
Also, how the hell is the Controlled Substances Act never once mentioned??
I'm just gonna go ahead and put a { { multiple issues } } in there. Goodness gracious!

Hello everyone!
Two other individuals and I are currently analyzing this article and trying to better the article. We are doing this as a part of our college course work and would like to improve the article by adding the definitions of Alcohol, Cannabis, Opioids, and Stimulants to the article. As well as adding more information about the Controlled Substance Act to the Enforcement section of the article. Wish us luck as we venture into creating these revisions!

I am requesting that we merge this article with the article Drugs in the United States. The articles are very similar in topics and I believe that they can be merged into one subject. Roastedbeanz1 ( talk) 17:52, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
