Did you see the documentary 13th on Netflix? If you did it's likely that you are just as enraged by the US criminal justice system and the War on Drugs as we are. This week hosts Nat and Julie tackle the War on Drugs and its failure to reduce the prevelance of drugs, reduce crime, and improve the welfare of society. The US is facing a opioid epidemic as well as housing the world's largest prison population, many of whom are being held for drug offenses. South of the border, Mexico has seen a drastic increase in violence over past decades due to escalating tensions between the state and the cartels that are responsible for trafficking around 20 billion dollars worth of drugs into the US every year. We discuss how drug policies are in urgent need of change to reduce crime and to ensure better protection of the victims of drug use.
