Cops and the war on drugs

Today on Midday
Listen live on WYPR 88.1 FM or online at wypr.org.

We’re joined in Studio A after the NPR news at noon by Jack Cole, who spent 26 years fighting on the front lines of the war on drugs with the New Jersey State Police. Cole has declared the war a failure and he now leads a group of police officers, judges, prosecutors and others who feel that legalizing and regulating drugs is the only way we'll solve our problems of addiction and related violence. He's visiting Baltimore to speak to a Hopkins public health class taught by Dr. Dan Morhaim, the 11th District state delegate. I've interviewed Cole before and he's provocative and tough, firm in his commitment to ending prohibition of heroin, cocaine and marijuana. His organization is LEAP -- Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. . . . . Comments and questions welcome in advance of the show at this post or at midday@wypr.org
