The fundamental problem that we face is not the war on drugs… The war on drugs and the harm which it does are simply manifestations of a much broader problem: the substitution of political mechanisms for market mechanisms in a wide variety of areas…. The war on drug is a failure because it is a socialist enterprise.
– Robert Dowd on The Enemy is Us
In other words, prohibition on drugs, an impossible utopian dream of a drug-free America, is practically a nightmare in the making.
