Abstract
Day after day, government officials across the United States make public statements celebrating various “victories” in our never-ending War on Drugs. These shallow statements overlook the true cost of this “war” and perpetuate the binary idea that there will eventually be a winner and a loser. If we continue down the path of war, nobody wins. The following article assesses the impact of this war by imagining a public official having a moment of contrition and acknowledging the errors of our ways.
