Preferred term

anti-drug war movement

With the exception of one or two local attempts at alcohol prohibition all drugs were legal in America from its inception until the early 20th century. The earliest anti-drug laws were typically small, localized, efforts targeted against various minority groups such as the anti-opium laws targeting Chinese on the west coast or the anti-marijuana laws aimed at Mexicans in the southwest, and so generated little attention among other Americans.
