Recently, The New York Times published a Statement, on drug policy. I have been working in this field for the last 50 years or so. In 2016 I published a book entitled: "End the Drug War; Solve the Drug Problem: The Public Health Approach" (PHA). In sum, I see the "drug problem" as a unity, not a duality. The Times' proposal nibbles around the edges, while the PHA proposes a comprehensive way to effectively deal with it.
