The War on Drugs: A Losing Battle?
Show #914

It’s a war we’ve been fighting for three decades, but are we any closer to winning after 30 years? On this edition of Due Process, Sandy King takes to the streets of Newark with the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration in New Jersey. Mike Pasterchick shows us what he claims is the city’s open-air heroin market, and he asserts that federal drug fighters are making strides in the war against drugs. But, in the studio segment with Raymond Brown, a drug rehab expert insists that drug policy should tilt in the direction of treatment; while a lawyer who heads a national project, aimed at reforming drug laws, charges the war on drugs should be abandoned as a 30-year abysmal failure.
