Maximizing Harm: Losers and Winners in the Drug War

by Stephen Young

The drug policies of the United States have consistently made drug problems worse, not better. Fatal flaws in the policies ensure problems will intensify. While lawmakers have enough information to understand this pattern, not only do they ignore it, they strive to keep such information away from the public. Actually, the amount of information challenging the drug war is overwhelming. Maximizing Harm gives a brief introduction to the central issues in the drug why it can't work; who gets hurt; who profits; why it doesn't just end; and who is working for peace.
