Drugs are bad, but is the War on Drugs even worse? 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.
(This event was an airing of the video “War on Drugs, a War on Ourselves.” For more information about John Stossel’s documentaries see http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Stossel/.)
