DESCRIPTION:
Joan Ifland said Well-Documented Expose of Illogical Drug Laws.. This is a fascinating book that essentially explains in well-documented detail why drug policy in the United States is not working. The author is very well versed in the topic and make a compelling case for the illogical structure of drugs regulations.. Interesting Great book, very informative. I should probably mention that it is extremely liberal in its views on drugs, so if your strictly "all drugs are bad" you probably wont agree woth anything in there. Amazon Customer said Good read. I ordered this book for my son who is a freshman in college, and he actually thinks its a great book.
