About the event
Enlighten your lunch hour! Join us for "The Failed History of Drug Enforcement" presented by the Honorable Reginald Routson (Ret.) at 12 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 6.
In 1971, President Richard Nixon declared a “War on Drugs.” For many years, this effort largely focused on criminalizing drug use, leading to mass incarceration and extensive enforcement resources devoted to interdiction, while dedicating few resources to treatment. Today, over 37 million Americans report having a substance use disorder involving either legal or illegal substances.
Join us for an engaging discussion that challenges outdated strategies and assumptions, and explores solutions that could make a real difference.
