A panel discussion with Michael Botticelli, acting director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy; Kathleen Fryndl, author of Drug Wars in America, 1940–73; Former Colombian President Cesar Gaviria, a member of the Global Commission on Drug Policy; and Hamilton Morris, a research chemist and expert on synthetic and psychedelic drugs.
