Drug & substance abuse: social aspects

This text offers a critical examination of the United States' approach to drug policy and its effects on individuals and society. It proposes a reconsideration of societal perceptions and policies, suggesting a shift towards a humanistic, pragmatic, and evidence-informed approach. The book critically analyzes the dominant narratives and the stigmatization associated with drug use, while advocating for decriminalization and a public health approach that includes harm reduction strategies and equitable access to treatment.
