To answer this question, you should start with the Hari's book but also examine harm reduction and decriminalization polices balanced against the US War on Drugs.
In recent years the drug control policy of the United States has changed. The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) was created in 1988 during the "war on drugs"—a term popularized by former President Nixon and commonly used for nearly 40 years to describe U.S. drug policy. Traditionally drug use had been considered primarily a criminal justice problem, but now it has transitioned to being viewed as a combination of criminal justice and public health problems. Starting in 2009 ONDCP distanced itself from the term.
Compare years such as 1989 and a more recent strategy to discuss this transition.
