DOIAbstract
A Reimagined Response to Drug Offenses in the Western World is an essay regarding the ineffective responses currently employed to deal with non-violent drug offenses in both Canada and the United States. The essay identifies many of the major issues attributed to the current neo-liberal response to such crimes, and suggests alternative ways of dealing with this very prominent societal issue. Furthermore, this essay explores a new perspective on non-violent drug offenses - as being more of a medical issue than criminal, and how this perspective can influence changes in the current criminal procedures associated with the war on drugs
