War on Us (eBook, ePUB)

How the War on Drugs and Myths About Addiction Have Created a War on All of Us

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

While the War on Drugs may have sounded like a good idea at one time, the consequences have been catastrophic. From physicians persecuted for providing health care to their patients to parents grieving the loss of their children to overdose or prison - we've all become victims of this war.

Our health, our families, our assets, our safety, and our freedom are at risk:

• One in three adults in the U.S. now has a criminal record.
• Patients with severe illnesses or chronic pain are denied access to proven pain medications.
• Over a trillion in taxpayer dollars in the U.S. alone has 'bought' the highest drug use, the highest overdose and the highest incarceration rates in the world.

In War on Us, Colleen Cowles raises the alarm and offers practical, proven reforms. There are answers, as long as we have the will to implement change. It's time to end the War on Drugs - and the war on all of us. This book is the roadmap to do just that.
