How did President George H W Bush's appointment of a "drug czar" change drug crime in the United States?

The effects of his "war on drugs" is debated as whether is actually produced good results or not. The biggest success of this war was that cocaine usage went down by 22% for the middle class. Whether or not the Gov't was responsible for this is debated. Some say that the Gov't was responsible for this decrease in drug usage and some say that people were beginning to see the effects of these drugs and were backing off. While the Middle class was positively impacted, the poor were hit even harder. More poor people were on drugs in 1992, then there was when the war even began.

Bush's plan was based on of Ronald Reagan's plan for the war on drugs. Combined with Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" program and Reagan idea that the heart of the problem was the drug kingpins.

Bush nominated his drug czar William Bennet and even Bennet said that the War on Drugs was failing.

President George H. W. Bush's appointment of a "drug czar" did not significantly alter drug crime in the United States. The establishment of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and the appointment of a "drug czar" were part of a broader response to the perceived drug crisis during his presidency. However, the impact on drug crime was limited. The policies and strategies implemented during this time, including increased law enforcement efforts and anti-drug campaigns, had mixed results in addressing drug-related issues. Drug crime continued to be a significant challenge, and subsequent administrations pursued different approaches to tackle the problem.
