3. Devising a Drug-Free World

On this episode of Prologued, we turn our attention back to the nation that ultimately made a global War on Drugs possible: the United States. Learn with us how, during the 1930s and 1940s, the U.S. began to establish a global model for pursuing drug prohibition both at home and abroad.

Show Description

Prologued is a serial podcast from Origins: Current Events in  Historical Perspective that performs in depth discussions of historical  roots that have been lost, ignored, or misconstrued, resulting in modern  society being confused by the current course of events. With the help  of esteemed scholars, each season will re-construct the history of a  major issue society is facing, in an effort to not only explain how we  got here, but to reveal a path forward.
