This book changed my understanding of the war on drugs entirely. I’m now very passionate about pushing back at the war on drugs and healing our society with compassion at Johann Hari encourages.

fotophrame's review
Very difficult sections discussing countries severely affected by drug violence, and gang warfare that impacts women and families.
Graphic: Violence and Gore
Moderate: Torture, Police brutality, and Gun violence
The book is VERY good and makes a truly compelling read around the topic of, not just addiction, but society and treatment on others, or how to build a kinder society. Some sections are particularly difficult to read however which can affect certain readers who wish to progress to the end of the book.meganmalonefranklin's review
