Treatment, Supply Side

The author makes a compelling argument for treatment and consumption side emphasis on the issue of drug control policy. This argument is most compelling because it makes such a detailed accounting of the meeting at Brookings by such a distinquished panel. The panel consists of a host of former South and Central American leaders who have first hand experience with "supply side" drug control policy. Testimony from those quarters is juxtaposed with the views of the former U.S. drug policy czar which leads to an interesting conflict element in the article.
