Description
The history and ethical problems with the war on drugs. We discuss the nature of addiction and why private prisons are an unethical place to house those who have substance dependency.

Discussion topics include initiatives to legalize cannabis, the history of the penitentiary system, methodone, and other social issues related to narcotics.
