In The Constitution of the War on Drugs, David Pozen provides an authoritative, critical constitutional history of the drug war, casting new light on both drug prohibition and U.S. constitutional development. Pozen shows the plausibility of a constitutional path not taken in the 1960s and 1970s--a path that would have led to a less punitive approach to drug control. He explains how and why constitutional resistance to drug prohibition collapsed. And he offers a roadmap to constitutional reform options available today.

"It is hard to think of a contemporary public policy regime more discredited than the "war on drugs." For the past half-century, the U.S. Congress and the legislatures of the fifty states have made it a crime to own, use, grow, or sell a long list of psychoactive substances. Police have stopped, searched, arrested, and jailed tens of millions of Americans pursuant to these laws. Federal agencies have exported and enforced them around the world. And yet it has long been clear that many aspects of this regime, from the specific substances that it targets to the overarching goal of a "drug-free" society that it pursues, lack a coherent scientific or social-scientific basis. The war undermines core tenets of liberalism, from the right to self-rule and the protection of personal privacy to the freedom of religion. It fuels mass incarceration and racial subordination. It costs billions of dollars per year. It breeds distrust in government and disrespect for law. On top of all that, the war doesn't even succeed on its own terms, as rates of drug abuse, drug addiction, drug overdose, and drug-associated violence have only gone up since its inception. Essentially every drug policy researcher agrees that the war has been an "abject failure," the cause of far greater harm than the problem it was meant to solve. In the war on drugs, the curves of callousness and stupidity intersect at their respective maxima "--

Half a century after world leaders signed the UN drug convention and committed themselves to the eradication of illicit drugs, it has become painfully obvious that things didn't turn out as planned. Not only have the drug laws failed to deliver us from the problems associated with drug use, but as the disastrous consequences of the drug war have become more apparent, the inherently problematic relationship to human rights law has also become more obvious. This book spells out these problems. The author takes you through the thinking behind our human rights conventions and by means of principled reasoning he details how our drug policies violate fundamental rights. The book is a must for anyone who wants to understand what the rights-oriented debate is all about, and whether you are a drug user who want to know your rights, a public official who want to know your duties, or a concerned citizen who simply want to learn more about these issues, it will tell you what you need to know. "Roar has written a kind of Thomas Paine's Common Sensepamphlet on the war on drugs for our time, which calls for peace and an end to the injustices of the drug war on the basis of principled opposition to unchecked government authority. It's a must consider for anyone interested in what The Declaration of Independence calls, 'natural justice.'" - Kenneth M. White, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice and Political Science, Kennesaw State University. "Not only do we face a prohibition on drugs, we also face a prohibition on a discussion about it. Roar Mikalsen's book challenges both, and he makes strong points at every turn." -Judge James P. Gray (Ret.) Superior Court, Orange County, California. Author: Why Our Drug Laws Have Failed. "Roar has done a great job exposing the normative deficiencies in our drug control policies. Of course they violate human rights law, as he demonstrates so persuasively." -Douglas Husak, Professor of Law, Rutgers University. Author: Drugs and Rights."

The legitimacy of the prohibition experiment rests on its compatibility with basic constitutional principles. This is uncontroversial and more than a hundred court decisions have upheld the law in these terms, finding no shelter for drug users/distributors in the U.S. Constitution. As its toll increases, however, more and more people are questioning the drug war. This, of course, is natural. But if there is a problem with prohibition, there must also be a problem with its relationship to constitutional principles, and as its constitutionality again is becoming contested, this case study presents an overview of the reasoning that has been used to uphold a criminalization of drugs. The result is quite surprising. As shown, the judiciary's treatment has not only been embarrasingly thin, but constitutional demands have been neglected every time a challenge has reached the courts. Not once have prohibitionists proven the validity of their premises. Instead, justices have drawn upon prejudice to sustain the status quo, while appellants have been denied an opportunity to meaningfully challenge the law. In sum, the study shows that drug policy has evolved unchecked by serious constitutional debate. Only a very few have contemplated its constitutional implications from an informed perspective; those who have have unanimously rejected the prohibition argument, and this book explains why. "Our great country, as well as our 'leaders, ' have been programmed simply to accept Drug Prohibition as a legal policy. What has been missing, until now, is a legal expose of how that simply is not the case. Roar Mikalsen's scholarly but readable work puts yet another nail in the coffin of the so-called War on Drugs. Read it, and you will agree." Judge James P. Gray (Ret.)

You should not miss the book about the immortality and ineffectiveness of the war on drugs. Through the pieces in this book, the author makes a compelling argument for legalizing all drugs. What moral authority does the government have to penalize people for eating substances deemed hazardous by the authorities? And how can such power-the ability to penalize, imprison, and imprison someone for eating a hazardous substance-be reconciled with the fundamental values of individual liberty? Every American who cares about morality, freedom, free markets, the Constitution, and limited government should read this book.

This is a groundbreaking book that offers key stakeholders, policy makers and professionals a much needed resource to understand the need to provide effective and humane treatment of drug users with drug addiction problems (drug dependants) who fall within the criminal justice system in Malaysia. This book begins with a narrative description of the historical evolution of drug abuse in Malaysia: beginning from the opium trade in the 18th century, with the exodus of the Chinese immigrants to Southeast Asia and Malaysia as labourers in the late 19th century which brought along the problem of opium addiction to the Malay Peninsula, to the 1970s which saw a transitional change from opium addiction to heroin and the rise in amphetamine-type-stimulant (ATS) abuse in Malaysia as the 21st century drug problem. It then provides an overview of Malaysia’s prohibition approach by waging the rhetorical War on Drugs, including the development of Malaysia’s punitive drug laws and the recent paradigm shift towards a more rehabilitative approach in drug treatment. Over the years, a considerable number of High Court cases have challenged the legality of the detention of drug dependants for treatment at Puspen via a court-mandated order. This book further presents a commentary that is founded upon the legal challenges brought about by such unlawful detention, illustrated by judicial decisions of Malaysian judges regarding the constitutional rights of the drug dependants enshrined under Article 5 of the Federal Constitution.
