THE WAR ON DRUGS: VIETNAM ALL OVER AGAIN
A President and his general locked in a failed policy, unwilling to admit
the war cannot be won. Lives lost. Billions wasted. Sound familiar?
As General Barry McCaffrey, the drug czar, calls for more troops and more
weapons, the dispatches from the front tell us were still losing the war
in spite of the body count.
If people arent in the streets yet, they may be after they read "Drug Crazy"
In 1978, Mike Gray wrote "The China Syndrome," the movie that blew the lid
off the nuclear power industry. Now, "Drug Crazy" is about to do the same
thing to the war on drugs.

"Anyone who thinks the war on drugs is succeeding should read this book."
Milton Friedman
"Gray brings a filmic sense of drama and action to a gritty, scorching look
at the failure of Americas war on drugs." Publishers Weekly
"It shifts the burden of proof from the critics of existing policy to its
defenders. No mean feat!" Elliott Richardson
"This is a book that every American should read and take seriously." George
McGovern
Paid for by Common Sense for Drug Policy, Kevin Zeese, President.
