Chasing The Scream
" ... the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions ..." (Marx, on the opium of the people)
Why did the war on drugs ever get off the ground? Was it bureaucratic empire-building in post-prohibition America?
What kept it going? Was it racism?
What causes addiction? It's not exposure to the wrong chemical.
What cures addiction and how would harm-reduction transform society?
Who benefits from the crazy policies?
Who has tried to change things? Why have so many failed? What are the successes?
Is drug reform a libertarian questions or a progressive question? or both?
Johann Hari has written an enthralling book on the first and last days of the war of drugs. Come and join the conversation.
