Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the multifaceted issue of illicit drug abuse, the author delves into its causes, consequences, and potential treatments. By analyzing existing drug policies, he advocates for legalization within a regulated market as a feasible solution. The book explores individual vulnerabilities to drug use, along with the physical, psychological, social, and economic impacts on society. It critiques the limitations of a purely legal response, suggesting that health-centered approaches and specialized drug courts could offer alternatives to the current criminal justice system.
