Fatal Features of the Prohibition Blunder: Endangering Citizens
The global illegal drug market is a $500 billion-dollar-per-year industry that—thanks to Drug Prohibition—has been handed over to cartels and gangs “for them to fight over on our streets,” according to End It For Good founder Christina Dent. This is just one aspect of the devastating harm prohibition causes in our society and in our loved ones' personal lives.
Dent is the author of Curious: A Foster Mom's Discovery of an Unexpected Solution to Drugs and Addiction, which details her personal encounter with the drug-addicted mother of her foster son and the impact it had on her and her view of illegal drugs. Her 2019 TedX Talk paved the way for the founding of End It For Good, a thriving nonprofit inviting people to consider a new approach to drugs and addiction.
Through her organization, talks, and book, Dent makes clear the harm that Drug Prohibition causes on many levels, and lays the groundwork for the necessary cultural and legal shifts that must take place to reverse the damage it has done to America and the world at large.
It is only through effective regulation via legalization that the immoral War on Drugs can be stopped and millions of lives—young and old—can be saved.
