Title: The Drug Legalization Debate
First published: August 27, 1999
Description: "The Drug Legalization Debate, Second Edition, offers several alternatives and addresses the major issues involved in the continuing drug legalization debate. This volume delves into the history of drug use and abuse in America and the federal government's approach to drug control - including deterrence, treatment, education, and prevention.

Chapters confront topics such as the decriminalization of marijuana, the risk of the war on drugs, an enlightened legalization policy, and discussion of the ethical and legal dilemmas at stake.".

"Updates of retained chapters and new chapters deal with drug use trends of the '90s, including the use of cannabis as a wonder drug and a look at whether legalizing drugs would really reduce violent crime. Students and professionals in substance abuse, criminology, sociology, psychology, and social work will find this book essential reading."--BOOK JACKET.
