Pills, Powder, and Smoke: Inside the Bloody War on Drugs Book Information:

r-ending war on terror, the drugs war is a multi-billion-dollar industry that wont go down without a fight. Pills, Powder, and Smoke explains why.The war on drugs has been official American policy since the 1970s, with the UK, Europe, and much of the world following suit. It is at best a failed policy, according to bestselling author Antony Loewenstein. Its direct results have included mass incarceration in the US, extreme violence in different parts of the world, the backing of dictatorships, and surging drug addiction globally. And now the Trump administration is unleashing diplomatic and military forces against any softening of the conflict.Pills, Powder, and Smoke investigates the individuals, officials, activists, victims, DEA agents, and traffickers caught up in this deadly war. Travelling through the UK, the US, Australia, Honduras, the Philippines, and Guinea-Bissau, Loewenstein uncovers the secrets of the drug war, why its so hard to end, and who is really profiting from it. In the Preface to the Indian edition, he mentions the drug trails in India and the responsibility of this huge and populous country in regulating drug trafficking.In reporting on the frontlines across the globe from the streets of Londons Kings Cross to the killing fields of Central America and major cocaine transit routes in West Africa Loewenstein reveals how the war on drugs has become the most deadly war in modern times. Designed and inspired by Washington, its agenda has nothing to do with ending drug use or addiction, but is all about controlling markets, territories, and people. Instead, Loewenstein argues, the legalisation and regulation of all drugs would be a much more realistic and humane approach. The evidence presented in this book will persuade many readers that hes right.
