The War on Drugs is  James' print series that brings to light the hypocrisies of the War on Drugs. Started by the British in 1839, opium was trafficked from India to China to get the Chinese population addicted to drugs to upset and flip the balance of trade between Britain and China in Britain's favor, using the East India Company. This one act set forth a chain of events that would wreak havoc on the world and be used as a tactic to fund many wars for the next two centuries, with no end in sight. Leading to multiple opium wars that span across Asia, crack and cocaine wars across North and South America, and the war on marijuana that has touched both continents.
