Abstract

In his response to Drug Prohibition: An Unnatural Disaster. Professor Loken avoids systematic confrontation with the wide range of our drug war costs and confines his disputation to my proposal to legalize and regulate hard drugs. There is thus less disagreement between us than might casually appear, for I acknowledge that the wisdom of legalization, as opposed to drastic de-escalation, is debatable with respect to drugs other than marijuana.
