Drug use in the 60s and 70s
By Staff Reporters
In the 1960’s and 1970’s drug use in the United States continued to grow, peaking in 1979. This was, in part, due to the wide, legal availability of drug paraphernalia like that captured in this picture of a dealer on a street corner near DEA headquarters (then located at 1405 I Street NW in Washington DC) in the late 1970’s.

In order to combat this trend, DEA was asked by the White House to create a model Drug Paraphernalia Law to be implemented and enforced at the state and local level, giving DEA and other partners another tool in the fight against drug abuse.

Increases in controlled substance prescribing have coincided with higher rates of misuse, abuse, hospitalizations and deaths. Right now, opioids cause more overdose deaths than heroin and cocaine combined.

Extortion Scam Targeting DEA Registrants
DEA is aware that registrants are receiving telephone calls and emails by criminals identifying themselves as DEA employees or other law enforcement personnel. The criminals have masked their telephone number on caller id by showing the DEA Registration Support 800 number. Please be aware that a DEA employee would not contact a registrant and demand money or threaten to suspend a registrant’s DEA registration.
If you are contacted by a person purporting to work for DEA and seeking money or threatening to suspend your DEA registration, submit the information through “Extortion Scam Online Reporting” posted on the DEA Diversion Control Division’s website: http://www.DEADiversion.usdoj.gov
