Almost everyone agrees that drugs are bad, but is the War on Drugs even worse? In this ABC news special, John Stossel explores that question by interviewing some of the individuals closest to the drug war including police officers, judges, drug dealers, and South American farmers. Stossel also examines how liberalized drug laws in Europe have affected crime, drug addiction, and civil liberties.
