The Failure of the War on Drugs: Finding Humanity in an Unjust System – Neill Franklin – Major Franklin will discuss why it is more compassionate to advocate for the regulation and control of drugs, and have a law enforcement approach that defends human rights and views drug misusers as persons in need of treatment as opposed to punishment.
