Drugs and Drug Policy: The Control of Consciousness Alteration
"Mosher and Akins challenge readers' preconceptions and beliefs regarding drug use."(G. A. Blevins 2007-06-01)"...the authors provide a detailed review of existing drug policy in the United States and an excellent and thorough review of the effects of both legal and illegal substances.  One of the book's outstanding features is its comprehensive coverage of policy regarding legal and non legal drugs...this book is also extremely thought provoking and challenges readers to consider the foundation of their own perspectives on drugs and drug policies." —PSYCCRITIQUES(Clayton NeighborsPsycCritiques2007-12-16)Dear Clayton and Scott,I am just finishing up my winter quarter class, "Drugs and Society," in which I used your book, Drugs and Drug Policy. To be honest, I took a chance on the book…My chance was well rewarded. The student feedback on the book was excellent. They thought that you were very even-measured in your presentation, pitched at the right level, and they learned a lot about things they thought they knew, but, alas, did not! Most especially, I also took a chance on including some of the Internet exercises as homework assignments … and those ended up being a huge hit…. I will be teaching the course again next year and I see no reason why I would not use [Drugs and Drug Policy] again…. I thank you both for a superb job [creating this book]. It certainly made my class better.”—Peter Adler, University of Denver, Past President, Midwest Sociological Society (Peter Adler)"...the authors provide a detailed review of existing drug policy in the United States and an excellent and thorough review of the effects of both legal and illegal substances.
