Addiction 2
- Drug enforcement cut casual use and barely touched heavy users, who account for most of the drugs consumed.
- After two decades of the war on drugs, drugs were cheaper and more potent than when it began.

What Charles Fain Lehman says most about
America 2
- The war on drugs is not the main cause of American mass incarceration, because drug offenders were never a large share of the prison population.
- After two decades of the war on drugs, drugs were cheaper and more potent than when it began.
housing 2
- The social harms attributed to homelessness come from people being unsheltered, not from their lacking a permanent home.
- Putting people into temporary shelter cuts crime and psychiatric emergencies without waiting for permanent housing to be built.
