| Previous Attempts The is an agency called the DEA or Drug Enforcement Administration this agency make sure that as little amounts of drugs as humanly possible get into America. The agency was created in 1973 to combat that traffickers but the agency had not eliminated drug trafficking. The DEA and other enforcement agencies face enormous problems.

The DEA has also started to go into other countries with their permission and take out drug dealers and their processing plants. They cannot touch the growers of opium plants or coca plants but they can take out people who grow marijuana as long as it is illegal in the country. They will have planes or helicopters fly over jungles where the suspect there to be a drug processing area then they will assemble a group of people usual solders to go in and stop them.
