Drug Prohibition Part 1 of 3 David Zokaites August 1, 2017

Terminology “War on drugs” politically popular term – radical, emotional, energizing “Drug prohibition” more accurate, scientific Accurate terminology encourages reasonable discussions

Me personally Lead athletic, healthy, meditative life Physical body is home for my spirit I don't pollute my body with legal/illegal drugs Promote evidence-based policies

Popular rhetoric Drug abuse is growing Destroys people, families, society Causes crime Methamphetamine especially nasty How much of this is true?

Drug usage statistics From US Department of Health 2013 "Use of most drugs ... has stabilized over the past decade or has declined." "Methamphetamine use was higher in 2013" Meth only 2% of illicit drug users "Marijuana use has increased since 2007" 7.5% of Americans currently use marijuana Over 50% of young adults have used marijuana

More statistics "an estimated ... 9.4 percent of the population had used an illicit drug in the past month." “Nearly one quarter (22.9 percent) of persons aged 12 or older in 2013 were binge alcohol users" 25.5% of population current tobacco users From https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications /drugfacts/nationwide-trends and https://www. samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/NSDUHresults PDFWHTML2013/Web/NSDUHresults2013.htm

Drug use trends

Some observations Drug use and abuse is amazingly popular Can't possibly jail every drug user/abuser Jail-based prohibition has not prevented drug use/abuse

Purported prohibition goals Reduce destructive addictions Keep people safe, healthy Minimal social cost High effectiveness Sounds great! Does it work?

Actual results Marijuana use large and increasing Increase in crime World's 2nd highest incarceration rate Broken families Loss of civil rights Racist enforcement Mexico drug cartel wars Subsidize terrorism
