Using the best scientific evidence, Drugs: America's Holy War
explores the impact and cost of America's "War on Drugs" - both in
tax spending and in human terms. Is it possible that US drug
policies are helping to proliferate, not prevent, a multitude of
social ills including: homicide, property crime, the spread of
AIDS, the contamination of drugs, the erosion of civil liberties,
the punishment of thousands of non-violent people, the corruption
of public officials, and the spending of billions of tax dollars in
an attempt to prevent certain drugs from entering the country? In
this controversial new book, award-winning economist Arthur Benavie
analyzes the research findings and argues that an end to the war on
drugs, much as we ended alcohol prohibition, would yield enormous
international benefits, destroy dangerous and illegal drug cartels,
and allow the American government to refocus its attention on
public well-being.
