The current U.S. policy options on drug use are reviewed in the context of the history of drug policy in the United States. A restrictive drug policy is a deterrent to drug use and helps reduce drug-related costs and societal problems. Although legalization or decriminalization of drugs might reduce some of the legal consequences of drug use, increased drug use would result in harmful consequences.
在美国毒品政策历史的背景下，对当前美国关于毒品使用的政策选项进行了审视。严格的毒品政策是对毒品使用的一种威慑，并有助于降低与毒品相关的成本和社会问题。虽然毒品合法化或非刑事化可能会减少一些毒品使用的法律后果，但毒品使用的增加会导致有害后果。
