Drugs and Drug Policy in America
A Documentary History (Primary Documents in American History and Contemporary Issues)
by Steven R. Belenko
"Debates over the use and abuse of drugs, the laws controlling drugs in this country, and the question of whether or not certain drugs should be legally available have inflamed Americans since the 19th century, and continue to flourish as America attempts to wage its 'war on drugs.' Students can trace the history and development of these arguments, as well as the reactions to them, through this unique collection of over 250 primary documents.
Court cases, speeches, laws, opinion pieces, and other documents bring to life the controversies surrounding the issues. Explanatory introductions to documents aid users in understanding the various arguments put forth while illuminating the significance of each document."--BOOK JACKET.
