Bad Trip

“Well-researched, bitingly written.”
—Publishers Weekly

The war against drugs has bombed. Not only has it failed to keep Americans from using drugs, but its crackdown tactics produce bigger problems than it promised to solve. Drug prohibition fosters crime and corruption, helps finance terrorists, compromises U.S. border security, undermines constitutional liberties, militarizes law enforcement, and jails untold numbers of nonviolent Americans. And for what? A bigger, more intrusive government that cares less and less about individual rights.

Bad Trip reveals the real-world costs of the war against drugs. If you want to understand America’s drug problem — and what to do about it — you first need to know how the government is making it worse. Bad Trip is the place to start.
