Description

Explore the complex history of psychoactive substances with A History of Drugs by Routledge. This book examines why certain substances are labeled as dangerous drugs subject to global prohibition, while others like alcohol, tobacco, and medicines are regulated through different legal frameworks. By tracing the genealogy of the drug problem over the last 200 years, this work investigates how the construction and governance of drug control emerged. It challenges fundamental concepts in the field, including the definitions of addiction and the very meaning of the term drugs. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the social and legal shifts that occurred starting in the late eighteenth century, providing a historical perspective on how society manages psychoactive substances today.
