Product Description

Why do people use drugs What happens when people are intoxicated Are we being medicated into normality Drugs and intoxication have been facts of human life for millennia. Across the world many people use illicit drugs smoke and drink alcohol. Yet very little has been written about their experiences. Academics politicians and media reporting on the topic tend only to consider intoxication when it manifests as a social problem. This book takes a more nuanced view and examines drug and alcohol use from a wider number of perspectives. It discusses issues such as the history of drug and alcohol use the attractions of intoxication to individuals and the control and regulation of drugs and their users. It also examines evidence for the rise of the socalled pharmaceutical society and asks whether society is on the cusp of a revolution in psychoactive substance use. This engagingly written text will be essential reading for upperlevel students taking a range of courses including the sociology of drugs deviance and social control and drugs and crime. It will also appeal to social work students and anyone working with drug and alcohol users looking for a levelheaded analysis of the pleasures and pains highs and lows of substance use. show more
