The Drug Free USA stamp art features a white star with lines of red, light blue and blue radiating from one side of each of the star's five points, suggesting the unity necessary at all levels to effectively address drug abuse.
The design of the commemorative was first revealed Oct. 31, 2019, during Red Ribbon Week, which has been described as "the nation's oldest and largest drug use prevention awareness program."
