• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  This class explores how a law enforcement agency with a traditional supply-side focus on the interdiction and elimination of illicit drugs with no medical value can expand its role into reducing abuse of prescription drugs that do have a legitimate role in medicine. The success of the War on Drugs is considered, along with the consequences of the warfare strategy toward drug abuse. The class compares the regulatory approaches of voluntary compliance and strong enforcement. The class reviews the regulatory implications for pharmacists of state-assisted suicide and medical marijuana laws.
