    The entire course curriculum from CJ / PS 4530 "The War on Drugs" (honors section) at Appalachian State University by Dr. Matthew Robinson and Dr. Renee Scherlen


    Fascinating stuff and links to every drug fact, policy and historical background you could ever want. It's an actual 400 level college course concerning the War on Drugs.


    CJ / PS 4530 "The War on Drugs


    Course Content and Objectives


    This course is about the US war on drugs. Historically, the “war on drugs” is a term used to


    describe America’s approach to reducing drug use and abuse. Unless you’ve been asleep for


    most of your life, you must have heard something about it. President George HW Bush declared


    in a nationally televised message that drug abuse was “our nation’s most serious domestic


    problem.” His son, President George W. Bush, continued the war despite calls to end it from


    inside and outside of the United States. In May 2009, the Obama Administration (in a statement


    by the Drug Czar) said it would no longer use the term “drug war,” although it surely continues


    to “fight” it. Earlier, President Reagan had diverted more than $700 million from education,


    treatment, and research to law enforcement programs to fight the war. More money was also


    given by Reagan to prisons and the Drug Enforcement Administration, the federal agency


    responsible for preventing illicit drug use. And President Bill Clinton allocated between $10


    billion and $18 billion on the war on drugs every year.


    What has taken place in the US and abroad in pursuit of the war on drugs? What have been the


    effects of such efforts on the United States and other countries? Is the US still pursuing a war on


    drugs, despite the change in rhetoric? Are there alternatives to the war? This course addresses


    these questions and seeks to guide students in gaining a greater understanding of the issues


    involved in the US war on drugs.

    I am seriously considering trying to get into that class if they still offer it......By the way, why the hell do all professor websites look like they were created by a three year old? I don't expect them all to code, but can smart people not figure out how to use a simple program to make a webpage?

    Dude, they're academics. Things that look like syllabus' (syllabi?) or bibliographies bring them great comfort.
