    > Drug Prohibition has blocked drug control measures such as: 1. Effective partnering with law-abiding companies; 2. Standards for safer drugs, and 3. More successful shielding of minors from drug use and drug dealing. #DrugProhibition #ProhibitionBlunder #EndTheWarOnDrugs #LegalizeDrugs

  3. "In references how in the past, major drug seizures would have a clear impact on consumption. That's no longer the case. According to the National Drug Intelligence Bureau, there was a 96% increase, in 2024, of the minimum annual consumption of methamphetamine compared to 2023."

  4. Opium’s Orphans: The 200-Year History of the War on Drugs

    Upending all we know about the war on drugs, a history of the anti-narcotics movement’s origins, evolution, and questionable effectiveness.
    Opium’s Orphans is the first full history of drug prohibition and the “war on drugs.” A no-holds-barred but balanced account, it shows that drug suppression was born of historical accident, not rational design.

  6. America's #history of #DrugProhibition is quite a bit like the history of alcohol #prohibition, with a few differences. Both prohibitions increased use and abuse, created a robust illegal smuggling and distribution industry, killed scores of Americans, and increased the potency of available substances (the "iron law of prohibition"). One difference, the U.S. gave up on alcohol prohibition after 13 years, whereas prohibition of #cannabis, #cocaine, #opium, etc. continues. drugpolicy.org/issues/brief-hi
