Chasing the Scream

Johann Hari

“Chasing the Scream” is an intriguing retrospection on the “war on drugs” and the controversies behind it. Harry Anslinger – a commissioner assigned to suppressing drugs, led by racism and anti-communist views – is believed to have started the whole thing. Once criminalized, drug prices went through the roof. Author Johann Hari proposes drug decriminalization and legalization, a possible solution to plenty of society’s problems.
