Excerpt 1  

Kevin C. Whaley (53 sek.)

Transcript:

"If it was my choice, I would not have chose the slogan a 'War on Drugs'. When that was started - during the Nixon administration I believe - I was not here obviously, but I don't think it was a good choice. The reason I say it was not a good choice: In my experience wars have beginnings and endings - generally speaking. Our struggle with the drug problem throughout the globe will never end. It will never end. And with that being the case to say: War on Drugs creates a misnomer and it creates unfair expectations to the world in general that we are going to beat this and it's going away. Drug trafficking and drug abuse is not going to go away."

   
Excerpt 2  

Ethan Nadelmann (47 sek.)

Transcript:

"I think Europeans have some appreciation of this, but outside Europe people don't appreciate how remarkably punitive and draconian the drug policies are in the United States. The United States: We have roughly 5% of the world’s population, roughly 300 Million people out of 6 Billion. We have 25% of the worlds incarcerated population, roughly 2.2 Million out of 9 Million. We rank Nr. 1 in the world in the per capita incarceration rate of people living on our territory. No. 1 in the world. It's not just that we have the most people behind prison in absolute numbers, we rank No. 1 also proportionally."
