This journal entry details the lengthy history of methamphetamine in the Czech Republic by evaluating factors such as drug use estimates, treatment demands, and mortality rates associated with this problem, which are then related to criminal activities. The article provides a comprehensive overview of the historical development of this narcotic in the Czech Republic, and how it has influenced crime there. It was written by PHD and MD Tomas Zabransky, who consults with drug policy providers for the European Union and the United Nations, for the purpose of providing a foundation for further research on this subject. "This paper attempts to provide as complex a picture of this phenomenon as possible by analyzing what is known about the Czech methamphetamine situation through scientific monitoring and research (Zabransky, 2007)."The historical narration of the problem of methamphetamine in this country is valuable since it can be used as a model for future drug related research for other countries.

Cardoso, F.H. Gaviria, C. Zedillo, Ernesto. (2009, February 23). The War on Drugs is a Failure. The Wall Street Journal. Retrieved from http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123535114271444981.html

This article details the failure to prevent large amounts of violence and narcotics trafficking, primarily in Latin American countries such as Mexico, Columbia and Brazil. It offers recommendations for refocusing the efforts of the War on Drugs to ameliorating the conditions and harm of drug users and also suggests targeting the organized crime structures which propagate drug use. This source is based upon findings in the Latin Amrican Commission on Drugs and Democracy, and is intended to persuade governmental officials to shift their drug policies away from prohibition and criminalization of narcotics. The story was written by former presidents of Brazil, Columbia, and Mexico, respectively, and is valuable to future research in this are by presenting an insider's view of the political machines that have targeted civilians in the war on Drugs. "Both the U.S. And the EU share responsibility for the problems faced by our countries, since their domestic markets are the main consumers of the drugs produced in Latin America (Cardos, Gaviria, Zedillo, 2009)."
