Answer: Richard Nixon

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1971, President Nixon declared drug abuse as the main public enemy. Nixon understood that an initiative aimed only to the supply of drugs would be useless if the demand was not addressed, so he implemented an all-out offensive against drug abuse on the supply as well as the demand side. He added funding and strengthened agencies and enforcement.
