Drawing on his participation in high-level policy discussions, and a novel approach to policy analysis, Stevens presents three recent cases involving key issues in UK illicit drug policy - medical cannabis, drug-related deaths and the government's 10-year drug strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Stevens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1529231426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529231427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Alex Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442394444031,"sku":"9781529231427","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9900abee-0b6f-43c1-beea-d98906abd05b.jpg?v=1777197112","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/drug-policy-constellations-alex-stevens-9781529231427","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
