The Narcotech Revolution

The easy profits from pleasure, addiction and misery may soon end.

The global illegal drugs, tobacco and alcohol industries are ripe to be radically disrupted by the Internet and the microchip.

Narcotech is the simple concept that consumer-centric IT can vastly improve on the unsatisfactory situation of today.

Data-empowered citizens can transform their own health, whilst reducing the power of crime.

There is neutral ground to be found in the culture war between prohibitionists and liberalisers.

Change won’t be immediate, even or universal, but the prospective benefits are enormous.

Lives saved and extended, new jobs and services created, civil liberties improved, black markets shrunk, taxes collected, environments respected.

These are just a taster of what is possible.
