"A Real Debate About Drug Policy"

Op-Ed, Wall Street Journal

By George P. Shultz and Paul Volcker, International Council Member, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs

"The global war on drugs has failed, with devastating consequences for individuals and societies around the world."

That is the opening sentence of a report issued last week by the Global Commission on Drug Policy. Both of us have signed on to this report. Why?

We believe that drug addiction is harmful to individuals, impairs health and has adverse societal effects. So we want an effective program to deal with this problem.
