The Trump administration’s acceleration of the global “war on drugs” is both dangerous and delusional.
I gave this comment to the UK outlet, The New Statesman:
“The idea of ramping up the drug war in a deluded attempt to stop people consuming drugs has never worked,” says Antony Loewenstein, an independent journalist, film-maker and author of Pills, Powder and Smoke: Inside the Bloody War on Drugs and The Palestine Laboratory. “Until the US, UK and other states legalise and regulate all drugs, this highly militarized drug war will continue.”
