“Worse, what does the term 'treatment' mean in the context of the war on drugs? It means the naked use of force by doctors. Sally Satel — Yale University psychiatrist, 'drug addiction treatment expert, and the star 'medical' witness for the drug warriors — proudly proclaims: Force is the best medicine.”

“The trouble is that the state’s laws are commonly just public force and fraud—force because all laws are coercive; fraud because the lawyers don’t understand, or don’t tell you about, the indirect, unintended effects. Any good economist could. The War on Drugs, for example, has raised the price of drugs, corrupting every police force from Kabal to Kansas City, and giving gangs economic incentives to make stronger drugs and kill people.”
