6:19Now Playing"Ever since the War on Drugs, everything has hit the fan," says Romesh Bhattacharji, former Narcotics Commissioner of India. Rather than continue the unnecessary and costly drug war, Bhattacharji advises the United States to simply "Relax, take it easy, [and] tolerate."
Last month, at the Cato Institute's "Ending the Global War on Drugs" conference, Bhattacharji's sentiments were echoed by ex-drug czars, cops, politicians, intellectuals, liberal and conservative journalists, and even the former President of Brazil. Reason.tv attended the event and spoke with a number of the featured speakers, including:
Glenn Greenwald, Salon.com
Mary Anastasia O'Grady, Wall Street Journal
Tucker Carlson, The Daily Caller
Luis Alberto Lacalle Pou, Speaker of the House of Deputies, Uruguay
Leigh Maddox, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition; University of Maryland School of Law
Enrique Gomez Hurtado, former Senator, Colombia
Larry Campbell, Senator, Canada
Romesh Bhattacharji, former Narcotics Commissioner, India
Eric Sterling, Criminal Justice Policy Foundation
Harry G. Levine, Queens College (N.Y.)
