Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

A number of different drug-control strategies have been tried, with varying degrees of success. Some aim to deter drug use by stopping the flow of drugs into the country, apprehending and punishing dealers, and cracking down on street-level drug deals. Others focus on preventing drug use by educating potential users to the dangers of substance abuse (convincing them to say no to drugs) and by organizing community groups to work with the at-risk population in their area. Still another approach is to treat known users so they can control their addictions.
