In this part 1 of our 2 part series on the "War on Drugs" we tackle the 1980s!  

It was September 14th, 1986, President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan address the nation to present their presentation of there "War on Drugs" campaign.  This campaign launched a fueled controversy across the county for decades.  Nancy Reagans famous "Just Say No" campaign swept the country.  But they were not the first, it goes back to President Richard Nixon's coining of the phrase in 1971 that led to the launch of the official campaign.  

So take a step back in time with us to the 1980's as we tackle this oh so controversial topic of the "War on Drugs".  Grab your popcorn, Jolt Soda, and a slice of Shakey's Pizza and dive on in...it's gonna be a time!  

We have fun in this episode, but we do not take drug addiction lightly, it is a very serious matter that impacts millions of people all around the world.  Drug addiction destroys lives and families.  If you know someone who is struggling we've attached some links below, as well as added some to our website.
