In Drug War Crimes, award-winning journalist John Ehrlichman tells the story of the drug war's victims and exposes the lies that have been used to justify it.

Ehrlichman shows how the drug war was created by a coalition of politicians, law enforcement, and media outlets who used fear and misinformation to demonize drug users and justify harsh punishments.

Ehrlichman also tells the stories of the people who have been harmed by the drug war. He writes about the people who have been arrested for nonviolent drug offenses and sentenced to long prison terms. He writes about the people who have been killed by police during drug raids. And he writes about the families who have been torn apart by the drug war.

Drug War Crimes is a powerful indictment of the drug war. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the consequences of prohibition.

The Mass Incarceration of People of Color

The drug war has led to the mass incarceration of people of color. In the United States, people of color are more likely to be arrested for drug offenses than white people, even though they use and sell drugs at similar rates.

This disparity is due to the fact that the drug war is enforced more aggressively in communities of color. Police are more likely to stop and search people of color, and they are more likely to arrest them for drug offenses.

The mass incarceration of people of color has had a devastating impact on their communities. It has led to the loss of jobs, homes, and families. It has also contributed to the rise of poverty and crime.

The Militarization of Police

The drug war has also led to the militarization of police. Police departments across the country have acquired military-grade weapons and equipment, and they are increasingly using these weapons and equipment to fight the drug war.

The militarization of police has had a negative impact on communities across the country. Police are more likely to use excessive force against people of color, and they are more likely to kill unarmed people.

The Erosion of Civil Liberties

The drug war has also led to the erosion of civil liberties. In the name of fighting the drug war, the government has expanded its powers to search and seize property, and it has made it easier to arrest and detain people.

The erosion of civil liberties has had a negative impact on everyone in the United States. It has made it more difficult for people to exercise their rights, and it has made it easier for the government to abuse its power.

The drug war has been a disaster for the United States. It has led to the mass incarceration of people of color, the militarization of police, and the erosion of civil liberties.

It is time to end the drug war. We need to decriminalize drugs, and we need to invest in treatment and prevention programs.

We need to build a more just and equitable society, a society where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
