In the twenty-first century, the drug war is one of our most destructive social problems—and how we deal with it is a hotly debated topic.

This book explores that issue and invites readers to join the debate. It defines what drug wars are, discusses moral and ethical issues around drug abuse and selling, and explores the impact drug wars have on our society. The book sets out debates about key issues surrounding drugs and asks readers to consider the information and draw their own conclusions. It also looks at the role every citizen has to play in finding solutions to this twenty-first century problem.
