Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Ten years ago, United Nations member states launched a campaign to eradicate all narcotics, under the banner “A Drug Free World – we can do it.” This week, those same members will meet to hammer out a new multilateral platform, even as many experts are questioning whether it’s even possible to win the “war on drugs.” We examine the future of anti-drug efforts from a global perspective.
