Watch: Discrimination & Failed Drug Policy Go Hand in Hand

As the US wades back into its destructive War on Drugs, the EU should take note of the extraordinary costs of this type of drug policy.

by LibertiesEU

The War on Drugs has been a disaster, costing the United States billions of dollars and leading to extraordinary discrimination within the criminal justice system.

Now, as the US appears ready to renew this failed 'war', what can Europe learn from its mistakes? It is clear that we can not be committed to ending racial discrimination if we are not also committed to implementing drug policy that puts human lives first.
