Who REALLY Won the War on Drugs?

Zack Polanski’s Green Party felt the full force of the mainstream media’s indignation last year, after suggesting that changes could be made to Britain’s prohibitionist approach to drugs. But all over the world, the War on Drugs is shifting shape. The legalisation and commercialisation of drugs is on the rise, and there is huge money to be made with Canada adding $76 billion to its economy since it took these steps in 2018. Ash Sarkar sat down with Professor Kojo Koram, to discuss his latest book The Next Fix: The Winners and Losers in the Future of Drugs. From America’s plantation-turned-prison known as Angola in Louisiana to the psychedelic boom of Silicon Valley, The Next Fix tracks a seismic shift in global drug policy. America now celebrates its first legal weed-selling billionaire, while others serve out huge prison sentences for possession. Now, Koram argues, is the time to pay close attention to what’s happening in the world of drugs.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-truth--6487495/support.
