This article reports that the Obama administration was ready to discard the existing policy of prohibition of drugs and “war on drugs” inherited from former presidents and steer policy toward prevention and “harm reduction” strategies such as federally funded needle exchanges. Other policy changes implemented by states and local governments include legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes and the making marijuana offences a low priority for law enforcement.
