Matters of Substance: Drugs: Is Legalization the Right Answer - or the Wrong Question?
"Griffith Edwards is perhaps better positioned to write such a book than anyone else on the planet. [A] lively and beautifully written book."--George Vaillant, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School "Griffith Edwards is simultaneously open-minded enough to consider every drug policy proposal from outright legalization to draconian prohibition, yet hard-headed enough to find every simple proposal wanting in light of scientific evidence, clinical experience, and the historical record. Experts in the addiction field will recognize the wisdom in these pages; anyone new to the topic could do no better than start their education with this book."--Keith Humphreys, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Psychiatry, Stanford University School of Medicine "Griffith Edwards, a world expert on alcoholism, has studied addiction for more than 40 years and understands the problem intimately. . . . His timely, well-written guide will help many people."--The Independent(U.K.)--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
