Preferred term

President's Advisory Commission on Narcotics and Drug Abuse  

Definition(s)

  • Despite the passage of punitive federal regulations in the 1950s, the use of drugs was becoming more common in the late 1950s and early 1960s. While rates of use would become much higher in the 1960s and 1970s, astute observers noticed in the 1950s that drug use was growing.
