One approach to solving a problem like drug abuse is to crack down on the sale or use of the drug with heavy law enforcement. Is this approach working well? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:

5. Can drug policies be racist—i.e., approaches toward crack cocaine vs. opioids.
