Udemærket indspark fra Richard Branson om hvorfor krigen mod narko har fejlet totalt.

It has been more than four decades now since Richard Nixon declared a global “war on drugs,” leading the world down the path of tough drug laws and relentless law enforcement to stem the tide of illicit drug use, curb demand and cut off supply.

And yet, after more than $1 trillion spent, and tens of thousands of lives lost in law enforcement, the global drug market remains a multi-billion dollar industry firmly controlled by organized crime. Demand for all types of drugs is going as strong as ever, serviced by highly efficient supply chains that have so far adapted to every conceivable strategy to fight this war.
