The war we never fought

In 'The War We Never Fought', Peter Hitchens argues that Britain has not waged a genuine 'war on drugs' since 1971, when the Wootton Report led to a reduction in penalties for drug possession.

He contends that this has resulted in a de facto decriminalization of drugs, particularly cannabis, which he believes poses significant risks to mental health.

Hitchens advocates for stricter enforcement and punishment to effectively combat drug use.
