Racial Justice and the War on Drugs

What are the Racial Justice implications in the War on Drugs? Why has it taken so long for ethicists to start advocating for decriminalization? In this webinar we discuss the role of bioethics, the metaphor of the War on Drugs, the decriminalization of recreational drugs and their legal regulation. Moderator: Kayhan Parsi Associate Editor, The American Journal of Bioethics Panellists: Brian David Earp, M.Phil, MA Keisha Ray, PhD Jeffrey Miron, PhD Kelly Dineen, RN, JD, PhD This discussion includes: 1:55 Why has it taken so long for ethicists to join this chorus of people who have been advocating for decriminalization for decades? 10:12 What is the relationship between the economic prospective on prohibition and the history of racism involved into the Drug War? 12:30 The metaphor of a war on drugs sounds more like a war on poor people of color. Why has this metaphor persisted for so long? 18:24 The target article states: A full recovery from the failed ‘War on Drugs’ will require more than minor shifts and tinkering. Rather, it will require a domestic, postwar ‘Marshall Plan’. Explain what this recovery will entail. 26:00 What are the limits of regulation in controlling harms? 32:10 Q&A Check out our reading list: ‘Racial Justice Requires Ending the War on Drugs’ by Brian Earp et al.
