The Shiffed Sands of American Drug Policy
By Raphael Wolftone Quinlivan
MatureAbout this book
Summary
Hee trajectory of American drug policy is not a linear march toward progress, but rather a complex and often circuitous path, deeply etched by historical precedent, societal anxieties, and shifting political winds. To understand the present landscape of drug control, one must first grapple with its formative eras, particularly the lessons—or perhaps, the failures—of alcohol prohibition and the subsequent, more comprehensive declaration of war on illicit substances. These foundational periods established legislative frameworks and societal attitudes that would profoundly shape subsequent policy decisions, casting long shadows that continue to influence how the United States approaches drug control today.Book information
