Summary

Focusing specifically on cannabis, cocaine, and heroin, the contributors to this volume present a brief history and analysis of the current laws and policies regarding illicit drugs--widely considered to be a growing international health threat--in 25 different countries. Illicit Drug Policies, Trafficking, and Use the World Over provides a wide breadth of valuable data and analysis for both scholars and students of this seemingly intractable social, legal, and political problem.
