Abstract

Nowadays, the battle against drugs and its abuse is an extremely challenging matter in Georgia. The article covers American methods against this painful problem during Ronald Reagan’s administration, and how he and Nancy were actively involved in the fi ght against it. For the Reagans, drug addiction, coming from their religious and moral views, was unacceptable and opposed their beliefs. Ronald dedicated multiple speeches and legislative incentives regarding this topic. The fi rst lady, Nancy Reagan, was also actively involved in the battle against this terrible disease. She travelled all around the states and held meetings with the youth while preaching her movement - Just Say No! Despite their signifi cant eff ort, of course, the couple’s attempts were not enough for the eradication of this issue in America. Still, we can believe that they were at least able to slow down the distribution of drugs. Hopefully, the activity of Reagan’s will be an excellent example to the world and namely Georgia, on how personal involvement highest rank politicians can aff ect the society and country. Although it may not eliminate the issue, it can still change and save a small group of people.
