Drug Czar Says Nation Needs New Drug Policy.
CQ HealthBeat (4/15) reports that White House National Drug Control Policy Director Gil Kerlikowske said that "the US needs to discard the idea that enforcement alone can eliminate our nation's drug problem."
Kerlikowske called for a new strategy which would address "our nation's enormous demand for drugs by scaling up our public health policy response, integrating treatment programs into mainstream medicine, and recognizing that effective drug policy requires engagement at the community level."
