On September 9, 1988, then-presidential candidate Ron Paul spoke on a panel at the Federalist Society's second Annual Lawyers Convention on "Improving National Drug Policy."

There has been an increasingly loud tide of opinion of late that our nation's current policy toward illicit drugs is not working. Proposed solutions range from the deployment of full-scale military force, to greater and more systematic application of the laws already on the books, to legalization. This panel will discuss a wide range of possible ways to strengthen or alter the status quo.

Featuring:

Dr. Ron Paul, Presidential Candidate, Libertarian Party
Richard Cohen, The Washington Post
Richard Willard, Steptoe & Johnson LLP
Moderator: Dr. Jeff Eisenach, The Heritage Foundation
