On Monday, February 22, 2021, Markets & Morality hosted economist Dr. Angela Dills of Western Carolina University for a discussion of the consequences of illicit drug use and its prohibition. Illicit drug use leads to significant personal and community harms. Consequently, the U.S. has responded by prohibiting drugs and fighting the War on Drugs for half a century. But is the War on Drugs achieving its stated aims? At what cost? Dr. Dills talk draws on the economic research answering these questions and concludes with questions from the online audience.
