Alcohol Abuse Center: Why Do You Disagree With This Paper?

Question by beaandbunny05: Why do you disagree with this paper?
The United States must declare an end to the war on drugs. This war has filled the nation’s prisons with poor drug addicts and smalltime drug dealers. It has created a multibillion-dollar black market, enriched organized crime groups and promoted the corruption of government officials throughout the world.

We must shift our entire approach to drug abuse from the criminal justice system to the public health system. Congress should appoint an independent commission to study the harm-reduction policies that have been adopted in Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands. The commission should recommend policies for the United States based on one import criterion: what works.
