Guests discuss their current efforts to reduce the harm done by drug abuse and also the harm caused by misguided drug laws and enforcement practices. A news segment covers the latest developments both positive and negative on the drug war front. We stress the damage caused by prohibitory laws and explore possible alternatives. We also examine the scientific facts that often contradict the widely held assumptions that seem to keep the drug war going despite its obvious failure to reduce the harm done by drug abuse over many decades.
