The
Economist
Makes
"The
Case
for
Legalising
Drugs"
7/27/01
Coming from a different sector of the magazine
publishing field, the 7/28-8/3 issue of The Economist magazine includes
a special report, featured on its front cover, making the case for ending
drug prohibition.
A "survey," or multi-part report, titled
"Stumbling in the Dark," examines the issue's history, risks and rewards
in drug policy reform, drug use patterns, an overview of the nature and
scale of drugs' harms, governments' failing attempts to stem the flow of
drugs, alternatives to today's drug war and other topics. The issue
also takes on the issue in its lead editorial, titled "Time for a Puff
of Sanity."
The Economist's legalization report can
be found online at http://www.economist.com/opinion/displaystory.cfm?story_id=706591
or can be purchased at newsstands this week.
