Rating: Summary: Maybe the best book on the drug war currently available. Review: The title of the book clearly indicates its thesis. But this book is more than just a judicial indictment of the war on drugs. It is clearly written and well organized, providing detailed information and sources while being easy to read.I have bought six copies so far. Three copies I've given as gifts, and the others I use to lend out. I have found this book an excellent resource for those who are just now beginning to realize that there might be problems with current drug war policies.
Rating: Summary: Judge James P. Gray is not preaching to the choir! Review: This book attracted my attention because I was looking for a solution to our current drug problems as well as over crowded prison population. I was one of those people that would have never even considered drugs as being in the same category as alcohol prohibition. After reading his book I felt I became educated about the realities of drug use and abuse. He opened my mind and helped me see something I never would have seen had I not read this book. He knows what he is talking about because he's experienced it first hand. He also explains why things don't change. I hope more people that think they understand the current drug laws will take the time to read "Why Our Drug Laws Have Failed and What We Can Do About It"!
