Seen in a different light, the drug war has been a major success, providing considerable opportunities and benefits.
Have you ever wondered if the war on drugs is truly a failure? Julian Buchanan, in this eye-opening episode of 'Making Sense of 'Drugs', flips the script on what we've been told. He suggests that the drug war isn't the disaster it's often portrayed to be but rather a well-oiled machine benefiting powerful groups.
Buchanan dives into the vested interests that keep drug prohibition alive, revealing how it protects the market share of legal drugs, justifies military actions, and even distracts from the harms caused by legal substances. The conversation doesn't shy away from the grim realities either. Buchanan sheds light on how marginalized communities bear the brunt of these policies, facing increased criminalization and a booming illegal drug market.
He argues for a shift towards harm reduction, human rights, and social justice in drug policies. If you've ever questioned the true motives behind drug laws, this episode is a must-listen. It challenges conventional wisdom and calls for a more humane approach to dealing with drugs.
