It examines all the facets of the issue from a global perspective, repositioning it into the wider and more relevant context of psychoactive substances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>Word War-D<\/strong>\u201d offers a reasoned critic of the prohibitionist model and its underlying ideology with its historical and cultural background. It clearly demonstrates that prohibition is the worst possible form of control, as the so-called \u201ccontrolled substances\u201d are effectively out of control; or rather, they are controlled by the underworld, at a staggering and ever-growing human, social, economic and geopolitical cost to the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>Word War-D<\/strong>\u201d is the first book to tackle the issue of legalization head-front, offering a pragmatic, practical, and realistic roadmap to global controlled re-legalization of production, distribution and use of psychoactive substances under a multi-tiers \u201clegalize, tax, control, prevent, treat and educate\u201d regime with practical and efficient mechanisms to manage and minimize societal costs. Far from giving up, and far from an endorsement, controlled legalization would be finally growing up; being realistic instead of being in denial; being in control instead of leaving control to the underworld. It would abolish the current regime of socialization of costs and privatization of profits to criminal enterprises, depriving them of their main source of income and making our world a safer place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Order your copy\u00a0of World War D available in 3 variations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>EBook &#8211; PDF at reduced price of $9.99<\/li>\n<li>Paperback: 448 p. 6&#215;9 &#8211; Discounted price $14.99<\/li>\n<li>Paperback: 448 p. 6&#215;9 signed copy &#8211; Regular price $19.99<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please select your option<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":138,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[185],"product_tag":[29,161,158,36,37,165,24,38,134,156,45,30,43,35,160,28,27,44,33,162,159,153,155,157,152,150],"class_list":{"0":"post-1741","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-uncategorized","7":"product_tag-addiction","8":"product_tag-amphetamines","9":"product_tag-cannabis","10":"product_tag-coca-leaf","11":"product_tag-cocaine","12":"product_tag-controlled-legalization","13":"product_tag-controlled-re-legalization","14":"product_tag-crack-cocaine","15":"product_tag-drug-policy-reform-3","16":"product_tag-drug-prohibition","17":"product_tag-ecstasy","18":"product_tag-entheogen","19":"product_tag-hallucinogens","20":"product_tag-hashish","21":"product_tag-heroin","22":"product_tag-illegal-drugs","23":"product_tag-illicit-drugs","24":"product_tag-lsd","25":"product_tag-marijuana","26":"product_tag-methamphetamines","27":"product_tag-opium","28":"product_tag-prohibitionism","29":"product_tag-psychoactive-substances","30":"product_tag-war-on-drugs","31":"product_tag-war-on-drugs-failure","32":"product_tag-world-war-d","34":"first","35":"instock","36":"sale","37":"shipping-taxable","38":"purchasable","39":"product-type-variable","40":"has-default-attributes"},"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.world-war-d.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.world-war-d.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.world-war-d.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.world-war-d.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1741"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.world-war-d.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.world-war-d.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.world-war-d.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1741"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.world-war-d.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1741"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.world-war-d.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
