Excerpt from America's Drug Strategy: Lessons of the Past Steps Toward the Future: Hearing Before the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, on Examining the National Drug Control Policy, Focusing on Law Enforcement, Drug Treatment and Prevention Programs, April 29, 1993 U.S. Senate, Committee on the Judiciary, Washington, DC. The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:22 a.m., in room Sd-226, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Joseph R.Biden, Jr. (chairman of the committee) presiding. Also present: Senators Metzenbaum, Feinstein, Moseley-Braun, Hatch, Grassley, Specter, and Pressler. Opening Statement Of Hon. Joseph R.Biden, Jr., A U.S. Senator From The State Of Delaware The Chairman. The hearing will come to order. Today we are beginning the first of what will be a series of hearings on our national drug strategy, and today I am releasing the fourth annual Comprehensive National Drug Strategy, which in years past was referred to as an alternative strategy. This year's strategy shares the primary goal of all others, and that is gaining control of the drug epidemic. At the same time, this years strategy stands apart from those offered in the past. Quite simply, we face a unique moment of opportunity in two respects. First, 4 years into the fight the Nation has some hard lessons about what works and what does not in determining how to deal with deterring drug addiction and drug-related crime. Second, with a new President we hopefully will have very shortly a new drug Director, a man who I think most of us would conclude is a first-rate, serious player. The time is ripe to take advantage of the lessons we have learned in the past, the mistakes in strategy made by the last administration, made by me, made by the Congress, made by all of us, to move with a consensus toward a new drug strategy. Since the release of the first annual drug strategy in September 1989, the Federal Government has spent a total of $38.5 billion combating the drug epidemic. Unfortunately, these enormous expenditures have not won the war. Hard-core drug addiction, drug-fueled crime and violence, and drug supplies have, in fact, worsened since the release of the first drug strategy. For example, there are currently about 6 million hard-core addicts. There is a drug treatment shortfall of at least 900, 000 treatable hard-core addicts. Comprehensive drug education programs barely reach one in every two school children in America. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Why have our drug wars failed and how might we turn things around? Ask the authors of this hardhitting exposè of U.S. efforts to fight drug trafficking and abuse. In a bold analysis of a century's worth of policy failure, Drug War Politics turns on its head many familiar bromides about drug politics. It demonstrates how, instead of learning from our failures, we duplicate and reinforce them in the same flawed policies. The authors examine the "politics of denial" that has led to this catastrophic predicament and propose a basis for a realistic and desperately needed solution. Domestic and foreign drug wars have consistently fallen short because they are based on a flawed model of force and punishment, the authors show. The failure of these misguided solutions has led to harsher get-tough policies, debilitating cycles of more force and punishment, and a drug problem that continues to escalate. On the foreign policy front, billions of dollars have been wasted, corruption has mushroomed, and human rights undermined in Latin America and across the globe. Yet cheap drugs still flow abundantly across our borders. At home, more money than ever is spent on law enforcement, and an unprecedented number of people—disproportionately minorities—are incarcerated. But drug abuse and addiction persist. The authors outline the political struggles that help create and sustain the current punitive approach. They probe the workings of Washington politics, demonstrating how presidential and congressional "out-toughing" tactics create a logic of escalation while the criticisms and alternatives of reformers are sidelined or silenced. Critical of both the punitive model and the legalization approach, Drug War Politics calls for a bold new public health approach, one that frames the drug problem as a public health—not a criminal—concern. The authors argue that only by situating drug issues in the context of our fundamental institutions—the family, neighborhoods, and schools—can we hope to provide viable treatment, prevention, and law enforcement. In its comprehensive investigation of our long, futile battle with drugs and its original argument for fundamental change, this book is essential for every concerned citizen.

This book is a collection of studies of drug policies in several Latin American countries. The chapters analyze the specific histories of drug policies in each country, as well as related phenomena and case studies throughout the region. It presents conceptual reflections on the origins of prohibition and the “War on Drugs,” including the topic of human rights and cognitive freedom. Further, the collection reflects on the pioneering role of some Latin American countries in changing paradigms of international drug policy. Each case study provides an analysis of where each state is now in terms of policy reform within the context of its history and current socio-political circumstances. Concurrently, local movements, initiatives, and backlash against the reformist debate within the hemisphere are examined. The recent changes regarding the regulation of marijuana in the United States and their possible impact on Latin America are also addressed. This work is an important, up-to-date and well-researched reference for all who are interested in drug policy from a Latin American perspective.
