Strong extended coverage of modern drug war dynamics from NPR

As noted in this prior post, a number of media outlets ran a number of solid articles about the purported 50th anniversary of the start of the modern "war on drugs."  Valuably, NPR has gone deeper into this multifaceted topic through an extended series of effective pieces.  I have already flagged a few of these segments in prior posts, but I thought it useful to round-up and recommend all that I have now seen here:

• "After 50 Years Of The War On Drugs, 'What Good Is It Doing For Us?'"

• "Oregon's Pioneering Drug Decriminalization Experiment Is Now Facing The Hard Test"

• "How TV Dramas Informed And Misinformed Perceptions Of The War On Drugs"

• "Overdose Deaths Rose During The War On Drugs, But Efforts To Reduce Them Face Backlash"

• "Revisiting Two Cities At The Front Line Of The War On Drugs"

• "He Lost Nearly Everything To Addiction. Then An Arrest Changed His Life"

• "50 Years Later, Is America's War On Drugs At A Turning Point?"
