The Death of a Giant: the End of the Illegal Drug Industry David Duncan Sr

Where any problem is concerned the solution is proven to be the solution by the effect that it has on the problem. If what is applied to the problem rids one of the problem, then what was applied has qualified itself as the solution. With this being said the question that comes to mind where the war on drugs is concerned is, how does what's been applied thus far qualify as the answer or solution to the problem? From the time that the war on drugs was declared by then president Richard Nixon in 1971 until now, has there been any real progress made in bringing this problem under control? The policies that have been implemented, the money that has been spent, the judicial attention, the policing efforts both domestically and abroad, none of this has made a significant impact on the problem. As a matter of fact the problem is still epidemic in size.
