Abstract
The drug problem has always been granted a national-level priority in Iran since the Islamic Revolution, with the exception of the Iran–Iraq War period. Drug management has been mostly in the hands of officials with security or judicial backgrounds, leading to the dominance of policies with a leaning towards law enforcement. Although those mandated with the task could always have availed themselves of the legal leeway to implement intersectional management, they have thus far failed to do so. The failure of measures adopted to rid the country of the drug problem has also been attributed to the geographical position of Iran, which sees it sitting on the main transit road of international drug trafficking. This article reviews drug management in Iran during the period of 1979 and 2001on a phase-based model.
