Drug Policy In The Americas by Peter H Smith
In this assessment of national and regional drug policies, the contributors analyze the magnitude and structure of the illicit drug market, the impact of the war on drugs, the utility of therapy and treatment and the implications of legalization. The book emphasizes the long-term, often unintended consequences of antidrug policies, the feasibility of stressing demand reduction rather than supply control, and realistic policies for regional collaboration among nations of the Americas.
