Should all drugs be legalized? : a primer for the 21st century / by Busby, Mattha,author.; Taylor, Matthew,1960-editor.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Evolution of drug use and production -- Effects on individual and social health -- Impact of the war on drugs -- Decriminalizing and regulating drug use -- Conclusion -- Further reading."From prescription medicines and alcohol to cocaine and cannabis, the use of drugs has reached an unprecedented high. We have always sought to alter our moods and relieve pain, so why today are some drugs prescribed or licensed while others remain prohibited? Cannabis is already partially legalized in more than 50 countries. Should magic mushrooms, MDMA and LSD be next in line? This illuminating investigation into the effects of drug use on individual and social health considers whether the war on drugs has done more harm than the drugs themselves and if microdosing is the future. It advocates for decriminalization and calls for safe spaces for drug consumption where there is a need. Finally, it examines the case for a fully regulated marked: is it now time for stimulants and psychedelics to be legalized and sold over the counter in licensed pharmacies?" -- Back cover.

The Right Person / by Padula, Stacy A.,author.(CARDINAL)867912;
Growing up in the shadow of two NFL-destined cousins, Chris Dunkin has high hopes for his own future in football. However, a drug addiction threatens to destroy everything he has worked hard to attain. When Chris meets Courtney Angeletti-the mayor's straightedge Christian daughter-he believes she could be the source of inspiration he needs to overcome his destructive lifestyle. Courtney, however, has other ideas. The desire to rebel has been tugging on Courtney's heartstrings for some time, and Chris's "bad-boy" reputation draws her to him like a moth to a flame. After all, he is a central part of the most popular clique in her high school. Will Chris pull Courtney away from her faith or will Courtney inspire him to overcome his addiction?

Killer high : a history of war in six drugs / by Andreas, Peter,1965-author.(CARDINAL)706191;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: How drugs made war and war made drugs -- Drunk on the front -- Where there's smoke there's war -- Caffeinated conflict -- Opium, empire, and Geopolitics -- Speed warfare -- Cocaine wars -- Conclusion: The drugged battlefields of the 21st century ." There is growing alarm over how drugs increasingly empower terrorists, insurgents, traffickers, and gangs. But by looking back not just years and decades but centuries, Peter Andreas reveals that the drugs-conflict nexus is actually an old story, and that powerful states have been its biggest beneficiaries. In his path-breaking Killer High, Andreas shows how six psychoactive drugs--ranging from old to relatively new, mild to potent, licit to illicit, natural to synthetic--have proven to be particularlyimportant war ingredients. This sweeping history tells the story of war from antiquity to the modern age through the lens of alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, opium, amphetamines, and cocaine. Beer and wine drenched ancient and medieval battlefields, and the distilling revolution lubricated the conquest and ethnic cleansing of the New World. Tobacco became globalized through soldiering, with soldiers hooked on smoking and governments hooked on taxing it. Caffeine and opium fueled imperial expansion and warfare. The commercialization of amphetamines in the twentieth century energized soldiers to fight harder, longer, and faster, while cocaine stimulated an increasingly militarized drug war that produced casualty numbers surpassing most civil wars. As Andreas demonstrates, armed conflict has become progressively more "drugged" with the introduction, mass production, and global spread of mind-altering substances. As a result, we cannot understand the history of war without including drugs, and we similarly cannotunderstand the history of drugs without including war. From ancient brews and battles to meth and modern warfare, drugs and war have grown up together and become addicted to each other.
