The Show Narcos and our war on drugs (ep 299)

This is a rebroadcast of ep. 119

In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, we dive into the Netflix series Narcos and connect its gritty storytelling to America’s decades-long War on Drugs. While Narcos shows the DEA and U.S. forces hunting down Colombian drug lords, the real question is whether U.S. policy fueled the very chaos it claimed to fight. Was the United States truly protecting its citizens, or did political interests, corruption, and unintended consequences make the situation worse?

We explore how prohibition, black markets, and government intervention shaped the rise of cartels, and what psychology tells us about power, control, and human behavior in this so-called “war.” This conversation challenges mainstream narratives and asks listeners to think critically about history, politics, and the human cost of the War on Drugs.
