David Herzberg, a University at Buffalo history professor and expert on prescription drug use in the U.S., will offer a free lecture at 4 p.m. when the UB Humanities Institute kicks off its "Scholars at Hallwalls" lecture series. Herzberg's talk, "The Drug War in the Medicine Cabinet: Prescription Drug Addiction in the Age of Miracle Pills," will take place in Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center, 341 Delaware Ave. The lecture will address how and why a vast and growing market for prescription drugs -- including uppers, downers and narcotics -- has come to characterize America's war on drugs.
Alumni of all the elementary schools run by the Buffalo Catholic Diocese are expected to converge from 6 to 9 tonight on the Hearthstone Manor, 333 Dick Road, Depew, for their secon...

The war on drugs is an important feature of neoliberalism in Canada. Yet while the relationship between the drug war and neoliberal policy has been the subject of focus by writers in the US, it has received little attention in the literature on either drug policy or neoliberalism in Canada. Gordon examines this gap by using a political-economy framework, which highlights the central role played by drug prohibition in the street-based operationalization of neoliberal restructuring and links the policing dynamic to the historical role drug criminalization has played in Canada.

When Evo Morales, former coca grower and leader of the coca-growers' union, was elected president of Bolivia in 2005, many observers of Bolivian politics anticipated that Bolivia would rapidly cease cooperation with the United States in the "War on Drugs." Such a change, however, has not been apparent. What explains Bolivia's continued cooperation? I argue here that US-Bolivian trade policy, which enables the US to use trade preferences as a carrot to promote Bolivian drug policy, may best explain this apparently anomalous behavior, suggesting that trade may be an effective tool in promoting non-economic foreign policy goals.

In New Mexico, possession of narcotics or illegal drugs is a fourth-degree felony (with an] 18 -month penalty," Maestas tells SFR. "This bill made it mandatory for persons with no felony history to get mandatory treatment as opposed to incarceration." Maestas says the bill didn't pass during the 2009 session in part because its critics argued that the necessary treatment facilities and infrastructure don't yet exisL This year, Maestas says he hopes to avoid that "cart-horse argument" because it distracts from the real issue: Incarceration for drug violations is inhumane and, he says, expensive.
"Putting someone in prison for 18 months... is a lot more costly and does nothing to protect the community," Maestas says. "I don't think anyone could argue with a straight face that treatment i...

In the last 10 years the world's leading economic powers have driven important changes in international policy on illicit drug trafficking. They have set up and financed semi-formal or informal transnational groups to proactively implement policy on the ground. This is a reaction to the bureaucratic, formal mechanisms of the United Nations and its agencies, where policy is diluted by the need for consensus among 53 member states, plus various regional groupings of other countries. The new groups take a more integrated approach to the problem by going beyond trafficking into countering money laundering and controlling the sale of precursor chemicals, which criminal gangs use to synthesize drugs earlier in the supply chain to reduce the bulk of trafficked materials. The established link b...
