Fisher critiques the National Drug Control Policy for its failure in supply and demand reduction, attributing this to flawed assumptions and political resistance to change. He tackles contentious issues such as legalization, harm reduction, and the ineffectiveness of current supply reduction strategies. Proposing a transformative national policy, he advocates for reframing addiction as a public health issue, incorporating alcohol into the mandate, and addressing the social factors linked to substance abuse, while discarding the war metaphor in favor of harm reduction principles.
