Frequently Asked Questions



I get a lot of visitors to Drug WarRant. Many of them already agree that the drug war is a failure and that radical change is needed. Some are open to learning more, but have not come to a conclusion as to how drug policy reform would fit within their beliefs, and may not be ready to agree with some conclusions I have made.

In this Frequently Asked Questions section, I am attempting to address the specific failures of drug war to particular philosophical and political interests (click on the question to get my answer). I expect that this will expand over time, and welcome suggestions for additional questions or answers.
