President-elect Clinton had promised to renew and indeed step up the War on

Drugs, and Dr. Morgan is not impressed: "I think the drug war worked in this fashion:

by practically destroying a generation of young black men we may have frightened a few

white middle-class youths away from using drugs." He is deeply informative on matters

such as the way addiction works, the historical relationship between drug laws and actual

drug use, and the relationship between marijuana and other drugs. "If I believed that

tomorrow legalization would ensue and the amount of drug use would quadruple,

sextuple, I would say no, we can't risk that. But I see no evidence that will occur."
