Résumé :
Documents the punitive nature of U.S. drug policy and its limited effect on drug use, together with its side-effects of divisiveness and intrusiveness. Claims that in Europe, prohibition policies are less punitive and that drug use there is less of a problem than in America. Concludes that social factors may matter more than policy, but argues that effective policy cannot be formulated without more research on policy consequences.
