The War on Drugs has proved ineffective; however, it cannot simply be abandoned, for it is directed, at least in part, toward solving real social problems.
Abstract
This article proposes replacements for three major components of the drug war: localized, pragmatic controls to replace drug prohibition laws; valid information to replace anti-drug propaganda; and social innovations to replace bureaucratized drug treatment. 81 references. (Author abstract)
