Legal approaches to drug problems
The text presents four legal approaches to drug problems in the United States (i.e., prohibitionists, legalization, decriminalization, and harm reduction). As you read through these approaches, make a few notes as to the advantages and/or disadvantages of each. In summary, select one approach that you (personally) support and provide at least one outside source that backs-up you choice.
The harms from drug abuse, drug trafficking and related violence do not stop at national borders. In the United States, the most recent White House National Drug Control Strategy represents a balanced, evidence-based plan for reducing drug use and its consequences. The balanced approach focuses on public health, particularly the need to utilize advances in the prevention and treatment of drug abuse, as well as on reforming criminal justice policies to reflect today’s challenges.
