The Global War on Drugs

Listen Later

Our panel of historians reevaluates what we think we know about the War on Drugs.

When and where did it really begin?

Why has it persisted?
And perhaps most importantly, will we ever be able to quit?

They uncover how the centuries-long history of global drug prohibition prologues today's discussions of drug use, abuse, and legalization.
