IT'S TIME TO CALL OFF WAR ON DRUGS, FORMER NARCOTICS AGENT SAYS
RUSS JONES has spent nearly half of his 64 years dealing with
drugs.
Of his 10 years with the San Jose Police Department, six were in the
narcotics division. He was part of a Drug Enforcement Agency task
force. He did intelligence work in Central America for the U.S. State
Department and research in China and the Soviet Union for the Office
of International Criminal Justice.
Name a controlled substance, and he can tell you how it is made, where
it is marketed and what it costs on the street. He can tell you
something else: America's war on drugs is an unmitigated failure that
should be terminated.
