Philip Robson has brought his excellent Forbidden Drugs up to date.
In the public jousting to condemn a small group of drugs as evil, addictive and
a threat to civilisation, Robson’s cool look at the history, content and use of
drugs is refreshing. He reveals the flaws in the abolitionists’ domino theory
which contends that all drug use is bad, leads to harder drugs and ignores
cultural practices. It’s time to consider what people are really doing, he says,
and rethink drug policies. Now in paperback by Oxford University Press,
