War on Drugs

This volume focuses on how the courts and government have helped to shape the War on Drugs through their rulings and rules. Across four chapters, major cases are presented along with the Court's decision and dissenting opinion. Essays further elaborate on both sides of the rulings. Readers will evaluate whether the drug testing of government employees is unconstitutional, whether civil forfeiture and criminal punishment for the same offense is legal, whether drug testing of extracurricular activity participants is legal, and whether the Federal Government can prohibit the medical use of marijuana.
