Description
Book SynopsisWhat’ s been missing the past 30-years that prevented voters and leaders from hearing or acting upon the Gierach call — and the Civil Society call— for legalized, controlled and regulated drugs and drug markets? Why the public repulsion from the Silver Bullet Solution to the many-tentacled, drug-prohibition monster?Have you lost a child to fentanyl or heroin overdose?Are you worried about losing a loved one to drug addiction or drug accident?Is your neighborhood threatened by violent crime and gangs?Is it safe for your child to get to school, go to the park, or play outside?This book offers answers to these challenges, and it broadcasts the idea that there is something “ YOU CAN DO” about it. You can help the new public opinion evolve.
Trade ReviewUnited Nations’ recreational drug-control conventions serve an endless “World War on Drugs,” though the UN Charter foundational purpose is 'to maintain international peace and security.'
