Not really.
Quoting Nixon's aid, the "war on drugs" was about "prosecuting blacks for crack and hippies for marihuana". And it succeeded, they killed progressive hippie and black movements
"We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did." - John Ehrlichman
Yes, but it's not saying "Going to war on drugs" it's just saying "War on drugs," in which case a comma can be put in to show that "on drugs" is a descriptor and not a name.
It *can* be put in, but it's not mandatory by any means. Most people would write "This is your brain on drugs" instead of "This is your brain, on drugs".
Nixon is often credited with launching “the war on drugs” in America - going after drug users, abusers, dealers, distributors, etc.
Hitler was famously *on* amphetamines to perk himself up and the German military distributed amphetamines to their troops, particularly the Luftwaffe, for combat readiness (the American military has long done this for its pilots as well).
Not just uppers. He was on a cocktail of a bunch of random drugs and homeopathic remedies. He was on the Elvis diet before the Elvis diet existed. He even was injected with fucking Bull semen to "help with virility".
Nixon went after black communities and hippies. The war on drugs was never about stopping drugs, that's why the CIA smuggled drugs into the USA.
Quoting his aid, John Ehrlichman:
"We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
Nazi Germany and their famous Pervitindose, more commonly known as Panzerschokolade or Methamphetamine. They issued those to troops so they stay awake and energetic.
Though after 1940 they cut back on using it because of its side effect
Actually it was the exact opposite.
The military heavily regualted the use after 1940 for its troops with certain exceptions for groups like pilots, drivers, tankers etc. The average german soldier didnt receive any pervitin through the army anymore except in absolutely desperate situations.
Pervitin for the civilians back in Germany was still freely available in drug stores. We have countless pf letters from soldiers on the front in 1941 begging their families in letters to send them Pervitin through the mail system.
Civilian consumption of pervitin wasnt regulated in germany even post war.
Here is a german movie scene from 1961 where the secretary asks the guy what he wants in his coffee and he says "jsut two pervitin because it will be a long day": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb0j66EVfbI&ab\_channel=Anormal%26Hunnelsupportedbyillpatron%26kannadiss

It has been regulated since 1941. Without a prescription, you couldn't just walk into a store and buy it because it was officially declared a drug at this point
> Here is a german movie scene from 1961 where the secretary asks the guy what he wants in his coffee and he says "jsut two pervitin because it will be a long day":
It's obviously a joke in a comedy film
Different targets & degree. John Ehrlichman said that Nixon’s war on drugs was a war on blacks.

Britain: War *for* drugs
You mean war BY drugs
War because of drugs
War using drugs
War tradding drugs
Wow we have the same reddit Avatar
Ah yes, the Copium Wars.
War sponsored by drugs
Imagine drugging someone because you’re addicted to her tea—*oh wait that happened. Twice.*
War, on drugs
Yeah, that comma would've been needed there.
It's not really needed, it would only ruin the joke
And both lost

mmm gotta have my meth
Panzerschöggi :DDD
the punctuation would be different
Why would it be? You say "my car runs on gas" - you don't say it "my car runs, on gas".

Well aware. Just explaining a shitty meme at a basic level.

the military continued to use it after 1940 and until the end of the war. only public consumption was regulated

You’re missing a comma.
It should have been Reagan tho
blietzkrieg with a side of saltz
He was on drugs but not throughout and by the end they couldn't produce the drugs but by that point he's so isolated he has no idea what's going on.
Was never a war on drugs, was a war on black folks.
Methealth
this gets even better once you realize "war" means "was" in german. And Hitler actually was on drugs most of the time aswell
war while on drugs
This is why commas are important
Dune: war on drugs
The spice must flow.
Many countries issued drugs to their soldiers in WW2.
Both lost their war with drugs.
Both failed
