Michael Zuckerman: Drug Enforcement Administration's war on drugs has failed

In 1973 , the year the Drug Enforcement Administration was born, the federal government counted three drug-related deaths per 100,000 Americans .

By 2022 , the DEA had been waging the war on drugs for half a century , that rate had risen tenfold.

Peter Bergen : DEA 's attempts to enforce the nation's drug laws have been a resounding failure by pretty much any measure.

He says the DEA has not only failed to make things better, it has played a key role in making things worse.
