Laws against drug use do not stop drug use or abuse, as clearly evidenced by the continuing rise of substance abuse and overdose deaths over the last sixty years despite the so-called “drug war.” We spend nearly a trillion dollars a year supporting draconian laws and their enforcement, but that only exacerbates conditions which lead individuals to substance abuse. Current drug policy feeds a system of violence by funneling drug traffic to underground markets which in turn finance gangs and cartels. This violence escalates as community law enforcement shifts toward militarized weaponry and strategies, which leads to violations of individual, constitutionally-guaranteed rights.
The following discussion uses existing research and statistics to show that the drug war has failed in a wide array of human needs as well as public policy. We show what changes would useful in eliminating this destructive approach and how we can improve American lives and the society as a whole.
