There was a general acquiescence on the new drug law

It sounds like you're referring to a situation where there was a widespread agreement or acceptance of a new drug law.

"Acquiescence" is a great word to describe this phenomenon. It means the act of accepting or agreeing to something without expressing opposition or dissent. In this case, the "general acquiescence" implies that most people or groups involved in the situation accepted the new drug law without much debate or resistance.

Can you tell me more about the context of this situation? Was it a local, national, or international issue? What were the key factors that led to this widespread acceptance of the new drug law?
