Customer Reviews

A well researched and eye-opening study.

William Weir, throughout this book builds a convincing case for a much-needed re-evaluation of U.S. drug policy. Weir's research into the drug war and its causes and effects is solid and well documented. This volume should be required reading for anyone on either side of the drug policy debate.
