This article says the opposite - there were less drug busts under Clinton than Bush Sr.:

Fewer Federal Drug Prosecutions, More Convictions Under Clinton Administration

David Burnham and Susan Long, co-directors of the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University, analyzed drug prosecutions in 90 Federal judicial districts across the U.S. using records kept by the Justice Department and the federal court system. Their analysis shows that the number of defendants in federal drug cases more than doubled from 8,775 in 1981 to 19,038 in 1988 during the Reagan Administration. Federal drug prosecutions continued to increase under President Bush, reaching a high of 28,585 defendants in the 1992 election year and averaging 25,990 defendants a year. Federal drug defendants averaged 25,672 in the first three years of the Clinton Administration.
