“James Gierach’s book calls for much needed reforms. Drug prohibition has brought irreparable damage to millions.”

– Michel Kazatchkine, Global Commission on Drug Policy.

“Gierach is a prophet. His views are decades ahead of today’s drug laws influenced by UN Conventions and the US-led World War on Drugs.”

– Romesh Bhattacharji, Former Narcotics Commissioner of India.

“United Nations’ recreational drug-prohibition serves a lost World War on Drugs. Gierach’s book challenges world leaders to abandon drug-war intolerance.”

– Jindrich Voboril, National Coordinator for Drugs Policy of Czech Republic.

“Thanks to Jim’s enormous contribution, new international drug policy reforms are coming that will guide better national policies in these matters.”

– Rodrigo Vélez, former drug czar of Ecuador.

“This book is important because drug policy is a choice. Prohibition is a choice. Therefore, undoing prohibition is also a choice, and it is a choice we must make with urgency.” 
 

– Brian A. Ford, San Francisco Criminal Defense Attorney

“Gierach recognizes that drug war subverts the policing mission.”

– Peter Christ, Retired Police Captain and co-founder of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP)

“Gierach doggedly and eloquently makes the case that drug prohibition itself is the common denominator driving or aggravating a dozen global crises — among them crime, corruption, and even many of the harms associated with drug use.”

– David Borden, Executive Director, StoptheDrugWar.org

“Jim Gierach is a lonely voice decrying the immoral World War on Drugs and advocating a Silver Bullet Solution. An important read.”

– Rev. Alexander E. Sharp, Executive Director, Clergy for a New Drug Policy.

“Jim Gierach knows the failed and futile WarOnDrugs produces soaring deaths, disease, crime, violence and corruption. It continues because it works as a political strategy.”

– Dr. Alex Wodak AM, former President of the International Harm Reduction Association.
