Description

Heroin Century by Routledge provides a comprehensive historical and medical examination of heroin, from its origins as a miracle medicine over a hundred years ago to its role in modern society. This book cuts through myths and misinformation surrounding heroin use, offering evidence-based analysis of why the drug has been so heavily legislated against and subject to moral panic. Rather than repeating worn-out narratives, Heroin Century sets the record straight with rigorous research into the complex relationship between legality, danger, and public health. The book examines heroin's cultural significance as both a smuggled substance and a symbol of lifestyle, whilst presenting recommendations for how society should approach heroin policy in the twenty-first century. Essential reading for those seeking factual information about drug history and the science behind one of the world's most controversial substances.

Key Features

Heroin Century contains historical and medical information spanning from the drug's first appearance as a miracle medicine over one hundred years ago to contemporary use.

This Routledge book presents evidence-based analysis demonstrating that heroin's danger is principally linked to its illegal status rather than inherent properties.

The book addresses misinformation and moral panic by examining cultural myths about heroin, including its portrayal in smuggling narratives and lifestyle symbolism.

Heroin Century offers forward-looking recommendations for heroin policy and regulation in the twenty-first century based on scientific evidence and historical context.
