Ending the Drug War: a Dream Deferred
This report by Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) looks at the failed war on drugs and the ways that the Obama administration’s policies contradict its public rhetoric. Examples include emphassizing a need for preventative health measures, yet still spending substanatial amounts on punishment measures instead of treatment, and touting states’ rights, yet the number of federal raids on medical marijuana dispenseries has increased since President Bush was in office. Although the report does give credit to the administration for recognizing that the American public is ready for a change in the country’s failed policy, it argues that the administration’s policies need to catch up with its rhetoric sooner rather than later.
