The US Drug War Started 47 Years Ago. Some Commentary from Milton Friedman on That Failed and Shameful War

In 1991 Nobel economist Milton Friedman was interviewed by Emmy Award-winning drug reporter Randy Paige on "America's Drug Forum," a national public affairs talk show that appeared on public television stations. In the interview, Milton Friedman discussed in detail his views on America's War on Drugs, legalization of drugs, the role of government in a free society, and his pessimistic view of America's future if we continue moving in the direction of socialism.
