The call to "abolish the drug wars" is a growing movement advocating for a fundamental reevaluation of global drug policies, especially those characterized by punitive and prohibitionist measures. It emphasizes the need to shift from punitive strategies to more humane, evidence-based approaches that prioritize public health and social justice. This movement argues that the "war on drugs" has led to mass incarceration, racial disparities, and the perpetuation of cycles of violence and addiction. Advocates of abolishing the drug wars call for drug decriminalization, harm reduction, and a focus on treating addiction as a public health issue, rather than a criminal one. The ultimate goal is to promote more compassionate and effective drug policies that address the root causes of drug-related problems and foster safer and healthier communities.
