To the Congress of the United States: 

I am pleased to transmit the 2010 National Drug Control Strategy, a blueprint for reducing illicit drug use and its harmful consequences in America. I am committed to restoring balance in our 

efforts to combat the drug problems that plague our communities. 

While I remain steadfast in my commitment to continue our strong 

enforcement efforts, especially along the southwest border, I directed the Office of National Drug Control Policy to reengage in efforts to prevent drug use and addiction and to make treatment 

available for those who seek recovery. This new, balanced approach 

will expand efforts for the three critical ways that we can address 

the drug problem: prevention, treatment, and law enforcement. 

Drug use endangers the health and safety of every American, depletes financial and human resources, and deadens the spirit of 

many of our communities. Whether struggling with an addiction, 

worrying about a loved one’s substance abuse, or being a victim of 

drug-related crime, millions of people in this country live with the 

devastating impact of illicit drug use every day. This stark reality 

demands a new direction in drug policy—one based on common 

sense, sound science, and practical experience. That is why my new 

Strategy includes efforts to educate young people who are the most 

at-risk about the dangers of substance abuse, allocates unprecedented funding for treatment efforts in federally qualified health 

centers, reinvigorates drug courts and other criminal justice innovations, and strengthens our enforcement efforts to rid our streets 

of the drug dealers who infect our communities. 

I am confident that if we take these needed steps, we will make 

our country stronger, our people healthier, and our streets safer. If 

we boost community-based prevention efforts, expand treatment 

opportunities, strengthen law enforcement capabilities, and work 

collaboratively with our global partners, we will reduce drug use 

and its resulting damage. 

While I am proud of the new direction described here, a wellcrafted strategy is only as successful as its implementation. To succeed, we will need to rely on the hard work, dedication, and perseverance of every concerned American. I look forward to working 

with the Congress, Federal, State, and local officials, tribal leaders, 

and citizens across the country as we implement this Strategy and 

make our communities better places to live, work, and raise our 

families. 

BARACK OBAMA. 

THE WHITE HOUSE, May 11, 2010.
