A Small Book About Drugs: The Debate We Need to Have About Recreational Drugs

By Lisa Pryor

Book Overview

Most people who use illegal drugs haven't had their lives destroyed, aren't living on the streets and enjoy normal and unscathed relationships with families, friends and the world. So why is it that discussion about drugs and drug policy only reflects tragedy that ends with death, jail or addiction? Why is it that the only acceptable public position on the use of drugs is one of prohibition? Lisa Pryor captures the zeitgeist in this punchy and provocative exploration of the real world of drug use today. She will anger a lot of people and be labelled as irresponsible, but she presents the undeniable reality that the skewed nature of the debate has worsened rather than fixed many of the problems drug use can cause.
