Historians frequently say that history doesn’t exactly repeat itself, but it often rhymes.  When we consider the impact of prohibition, we often see corresponding and familiar patterns and themes emerge. Such patterns may inform our laws, beliefs, media, and response to drug epidemics. Your job will be to consider a topic related in some way to the War on Drugs today and analyze its historical significance and/or how similar issues have played out in the past.  You need to go beyond merely summarizing the phenomenon to analyzing it. Why does this history matter? What “red flags” should we consider? What can we learn from the past to inform a better way or responding in the future?
