Review:
"[The author's] exhaustive details cohere in a complex portrait of how psychoactive substances are...fundamental to our view of civilization."
Publishers Weekly, 1/1/01
Review:"Mr. Courtwright's book assembles riveting data to negligible intellectual ends and lacks a coherent thesis. Maybe the incoherence of our present-day drug regime is to blame. But rather than imagine an alternative, Mr. Courtwright concludes that governments should 'adjust the system, eliminating its worst concomitants and plugging its most conspicuous gaps.' As conclusions go, that one's not exactly mind-altering."
Christopher Caldwell, Wall Street Journal, 03/14/2001
