ok. So, I am a harm reduction activist and an addictions researcher. I write those 'dry sociological studies' that Hari enjoys rolling his eyes at. I basically hate-read this book out of a sense of professional obligation. Not because of the story Hari told, but for the atrociously bad way he told it.

Essential reading for humans.
I'm all for anything that refreshes in the reader a feeling that compassion is urgent. Here in this book we have strong evidence, all over the world, of a compassion-starved state of emergency, of antiquated laws driving people into isolation, ostracizing them and pushing them further from essential human connection.

Johann Hari sets out to answer some of our most pressing questions about “the war on drugs” in his book Chasing the Scream. Within the pages of this book, you will find out how and why the “war” began, how it impacts people from all walks of life, and how cities and countries across the world are changing the way they deal with both drugs and drug users.
Chasing the Scream is an absolute gem, and I honestly feel that it's one of the best examinations of drug policy that I've read. Hari examines..more
This is one of the best books I have read in a long time and should be a must read for anyone who works in the field of substance abuse/ addiction. It is well researched and offers a valid alternative to the failed war on drugs in the USA. I have always advocated for the legalization of drugs and a total overhall in our drug policies - this book provides evidence on why legalization is the way to go. It is compelling and fascinating. Seriously, just read it. Even if the topic doesn't appeal to y..more

That noise you just heard are the flying away of my presuppositions about the drug war. i have been naieve in the area of drugs and so have been pretty anti ddrugs. The things I hard about were scarry and awful. Though much of this remains true, I can see where legalization of some of the drugs would certainly hurt the drug trafficers and we could use the money to much more humanely work with those who are and weil become addicted.

I've seen television interviews and roundtables with Hari, and when I found out that he had written a book about drug policy and the science and sociology of addiction, I immediately added the book to my library list.
The book was not what I was expecting - but this is not because I was disappointed with it in any way. What struck me is how very personal this book was for Hari. His first chapter explains the history of drug addiction in his family, and how it has also affected him personally. Th..more

I have really mixed feelings about this book. Hari's writing style is excecrable, and his account of the drug war is oversimplified. I can't emphasize enough how poorly written this book is - it reads like overly emotional, ham-fisted pap. And yet, I have to say that I think this book's popularity will be a net positive on the balance. It brings together a lot of good arguments in one place and makes them easily digestible and relatable to the kind of reader who might not otherwise be motivated..more

A very worthy, well-researched and well-written book. It should, I hope, come to be regarded as an important book.
I don't like the title, and I don't like that there are whole classes of drugs he ignores - concentrating on cannabis and heroin with a nod to cocaine, but largely ignoring the others, except to assassinate Timothy Leary. What he does cover though, he covers sensibly, intelligently and with touching humanity.

I have always been very anti-drug war, and so I am very much the 'choir' that Hari is preaching to, but I cannot in good conscience recommend this book. From a policy perspective it seems like it could be very persuasive, so from an 'ends justify the means' point of view, maybe I am a bit happy that it's out there, but it embodies almost everything I hate about popular journalism. I think that this New York Times review gives a good idea about many of this book's problems.

This is a good introduction into how the drug war took over America. I still think Carl Hart's High Price is a more engrossing and scientific read, but this book condenses over 100 years of history for us non-drug users and I like that the desire to write it came from a place of compassion.

This is an eye opening book that everyone should read. It will change the way you think. Our War on Drugs does not work. It actually makes crime worse and the people who need help the most get thrown out by society. I don't like drugs but this book changed my mind on how we are treating the drug problem. It's been almost 100 years of doing it in a way that has only made it worse. We have high crime, drug addicts, diseases, gangs, death on the streets, incarceration that is off the charts, people..more

One of the most readable, common sense books on the subject that I have read. It put a really interesting spin on the issue, and one that I feel is valid. 'If we can't bond with other people, we will find a behaviour to bond with..if the only bond you can find that gives you relief or meaning..you will return to that bond obsessively.' Should be recommended reading for all health care professionals, if for no other reason than to reawaken compassion.

I only read the first third of this book before I made the mistake of Googling the author. There are too many books in the world I want to read without wasting my time on a disgraced journalist who betrayed the trust of his readers with plagiarism, fabrication and lies. Why should I ever trust anything he says? How can I trust anything in this book? Lying in journalism is a betrayal that I cannot forgive.

Read this book. Then get someone else to read it. This is not a flawless read, but it is a good one, and it is very very important. Johann Hari spent three years researching what he calls the 'beginning and the end' of the drug war, and he has produced an absolutely damning account. I have been a convinced opponent of the drug war for decades, but I was stunned by the power of this book. By telling the stories of just a few of the lives destroyed by the Drug War he illustrates its insanity and o..more

For me, the biggest message of this book is that America's war on drugs is utterly evil. It has caused tremendous amounts of harm in the form of ruined lives and broken families, massive unnecessary incarceration, and abuse by police against people who are defined as criminal for nothing more than smoking a bit of pot. It has created massive amounts of violence and crime, increasing, or even creating from whole cloth cartels and gangs that escalate their violence to prove that they should not be..more
I think this is a very important book in the discussion about addiction on both a societal and personal level. The accounts and studies that Hari reports upon add some food for thought.
My biggest trouble with this book were the stories. While I understand their importance, their narrative handling felt overly sentimental and my emotional strings were yanked around. It felt more manipulative than heartfelt. Perhaps this was partially due to the narrator, or perhaps not.

Wow. I wasn't sure what I would think of this, given Hari's past difficulties, but since he made every effort to substantiate and document each quote, I happily relaxed into the very best argument for ending the drug war I've ever read. Not only was it articulate and readable and logical, but Hari uses the stories of those on all sides of the drug wars to illustrate his thesis, and the result is stunning. I honestly think this book would make the most diehard drug warrior a little shaken. For so..more
This is masterful nonfiction. The best nonfiction informs and illuminates, making a reader feel more compassion or more passionate (or both) about a subject. Good nonfiction is not staid or dry: it’s provocative. And this book is incredibly provocative. It’s also heart-wrenching and difficult to process. It made me angry and sad, while giving me the smallest of glimpses outside the bubble in which I have the privilege to reside. Hari writes several books in one here.

This book made me realize and reconsider social prejudices and preconceptions that I didn't even realize I had. I recommend it to everyone.

I loved this. It's just the sort of non-fiction book that I enjoy. Perfect for any fans of Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City or The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness.
Incredible book. Must read for anyone that wants to understand the roots of the disastrous war on drugs. Hari makes it stunningly clear that this war will not be won, and that it was misguided from the start. Beyond comprehensive. Reads brilliantly. Since the first page I felt like I was sitting next to my incredibly smart friend as he laid it all out on the table.
This book completely changed my view on drugs, addicts and human connection. This book should be read by anyone who is interested in US History, has anyone close with an addiction of any kind, or is interested on how the prohibition started and the reasons behind it. It is very well written and it leaves you with the desire to play a more active role in the war on drugs.

Having spent basically zero time thinking about the drug war and its many effects (outside of watching The Wire), this book was a revelation.
The bottom line is that US government policies implemented 100 years ago with all the good intentions of strengthening the moral fiber of its citizens and creating a safe, drug free environment for children failed because it ignored the basic truth that drug-taking and addiction is a symptom, not the cause of evil.
