For decades, the U.S. led a fierce campaign against the cultivation, distribution and sale of illegal drugs. In some states, and a select few countries, attitudes and policies have begun to change. But under a new U.S. administration, the war on drugs could be poised for a comeback. How will policies across the hemisphere impact the Trump Administration’s crackdown on drugs?
Helping us to consider that question are:
- Kasia Malinowska, Director of the Global Drug Policy Program at Open Society Foundations.
- John Walsh, Senior Associate for Drug Policy at the Washington Office on Latin America.
