America tried it before and has tried it again! One “Noble Experiment” was the Volstead Act proposed by resolution of Congress on December 18, 1917, that became the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution in January, 1919, and forbade the sale of alcoholic beverages after January, 1920. What followed was the most widespread, uncontrollable period of lawlessness this nation had seen up until the War on Drugs was initiated by President Richard Nixon in 1972 in an attempt to cover up the misdeeds of his failing presidency.

Presented here are essays by a senior federal judge, newspaper accounts, individuals, ¹ and other information on the social costs of combating an “evil” that didn't exist until the government created it. However, there is no better exposure of the fallacy of the widespread delusion that we can solve a problem by passing laws than the War on Drugs.

As Judge Kane states: “At the present time, our national drug policy is inconsistent with the nature of justice, abusive of the nature of authority and ignorant of the compelling force of forgiveness. Our drug laws, indeed, are more mocked than feared.”
