Synopsis

In The Constitution of the War on Drugs, David Pozen provides an authoritative, critical constitutional history of the drug war, casting new light on both drug prohibition and U.S. constitutional development. Pozen shows the plausibility of a constitutional path not taken in the 1960s and 1970s--a path that would have led to a less punitive approach to drug control. He explains how and why constitutional resistance to drug prohibition collapsed. And he offers a roadmap to constitutional reform options available today.
