Reviews

"An interesting story about competing interpretations between criminal law and civil liberties and the medical establishment and public health. . . . This eye-opening, factual story is for readers who will appreciate history and detail about how drug policy is created. Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above."—Choice

“An original and very important book that delves into a fascinating part of public policy dealing with drugs and drug control. Must reading for any serious understanding of drug policies.”—Richard R. Clayton, Kentucky School of Public Health
