Rethinking Our War On Drugs : Candid Talk About Controversial Issues

  • Rethinking Our War On Drugs : Candid Talk About Controversial Issues

  • Attribution

    Gary L. Fisher ; foreword by William L. White

  • Publication Details

    Book, Praeger, 2006

  • Links

  • Description

    The National Drug Control Policy has failed its two major functions (supply reduction and demand reduction) due to faulty assumptions regarding nearly every aspect of the alcohol and drug fields, charges author Fisher. He proposes a new national policy for drug control, including elimination of the war’ metaphor, inclusion of alcohol in the mandate, conceptualization of addiction as a public health problem, utilization of harm reduction principles to guide policy and discontinuation of approaches that isolate drug and alcohol problems from their connection to broader social issues such as poverty.

An Analytic Assessment Of U.S. Drug Policy

  • An Analytic Assessment Of U.S. Drug Policy

  • Attribution

    David Boyum, Peter Reuter

  • Publication Details

    Book, AEI Press, 2005

  • Links

  • Description

    In its efforts to control the use of cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and other illegal drugs, the United States spends about $35 billion per year in public funds. Drug policy has become increasingly punitive, with the number of drug offenders in jail and prison growing tenfold between 1980 and 2003. By contrast, drug treatment services remain in short supply, even though research indicates that treatment expenditures easily pay for themselves in terms of reduced crime and improved productivity.

Altering American Consciousness : The History Of Alcohol And Drug Use In The United States, 1800-2000

  • Altering American Consciousness : The History Of Alcohol And Drug Use In The United States, 1800-2000

  • Attribution

    edited by Sarah W. Tracy and Caroline Jean Acker

  • Publication Details

    Book, University of Massachusetts Press, 2004

  • Links

  • Description

    Virtually every American alive has at some point consumed at least one, and very likely more, consciousness altering drug. Rather than seeing licit drugs and illicit drugs, recreational drugs and medicinal drugs, “hard” drugs and “soft” drugs as mutually exclusive categories, the book challenges readers to consider the ways in which drugs have shifted historically from one category to another.

From Witches To Crack Moms : Women, Drug Law, And Policy

  • From Witches To Crack Moms : Women, Drug Law, And Policy

  • Attribution

    Susan C. Boyd

  • Publication Details

    Book, Carolina Academic Press, 2004

  • Description

    In addition, Boyd examines how prisons, social services, medical treatment, maternity care, drug treatment, and drug court policy and practice have been restructured as a result of the war on drugs. Although the focus of this book is on women’s experience of the war on drugs, it also examines how law and policy affect women and men in similar and different ways, and how the regulation of male drug users affects women, families, and communities. Boyd concludes that today, as the war on drugs advances, women have plenty to fear, but not necessarily from alleged drug users and dealers, but from moral regulation in all its guises, and from state, military, criminal justice, and corporate attempts to erode democracy to further their interests in Western and Third World nations.

  • Attribution

    Joel Miller

  • Publication Details

    Book, WND Books, 2004

    The war against drugs was supposed to make America better, right?

Drugs In America : A Documentary History

  • Drugs In America : A Documentary History

  • Attribution

    edited by David F. Musto

  • Publication Details

    Book, New York University Press, 2002

  • Description

    ?Choice “This volume is an ambitious attempt to provide, through a collection of primary sources, an overview of the US experience with drugs and drug control. In the first anthology of its kind, renowned drug policy expert David Musto chronicles the rise and fall and rise again of the most popular mind altering substances in the Unites States: alcohol, marijuana, cocaine and opiates. At this critical point in the “war on drugs” if we do not appreciate our drug and alcohol history we may become captive to the powerful emotions that lead to draconian repression, exaggeration, or apathy and silence.
