Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of drug control policy in the United States. The author argues that America's approach to drug use has undergone significant transformations over the past century, moving from a relatively hands-off approach in the 19th century to a more punitive approach in the 20th century. The author traces the roots of this shift to changing perceptions of drug users, the rise of the medical profession, and the increasing influence of law enforcement. The author also discusses the impact of drug control policy on minority communities, arguing that the "war on drugs" has disproportionately targeted and incarcerated black and brown people. The book concludes by calling for a more humane and evidence-based approach to drug control.
