Drug Crazy

Prohibition didn't end, it just changed the subject.  How America's drug laws promote crime and drug abuse, and what we can do to fix it                                  

An expose of America's failed $300 billion war on drugs—a powerful call for reform to end violence, corruption, and rampant abuse—Drug Crazy vividly retells the tragic story of U.S. drug policy and reform, exploring what America has to show for the more than $300 billion it has invested in its “War on Drugs” over the past several decades: violence, corruption, unprincipled political maneuvering; manipulation of medical and scientific data—and ready access to drugs, even by children.  Drug Crazy, subtitled, How We Got Into this Mess and How We Can Get Out, points the way to overdue reform in America's drug laws.  

Praise for Mike Gray's Drug Crazy:

"Never did I think one could learn so much about the drug crisis all in one place.   Mike Gray has written a book of profound compassion that nevertheless deals intelligently with the facts.  Drug Crazy is an antidote for passivity."

— Daniel Schorr

"Anyone who thinks the war on drugs is succeding should read this book.  It shifts the burden of proof from the critics of existing policy to its defenders.  Taht is no mean achievement!"

—Eliot Richardson, former U.S. Attorney General
