On Drugs: Substance Rehabilitation & The Future Of International Psychoactive Policy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781447783268)

On Drugs, is a cross-sectional slice of the modern social problem and cultural stigma of drug use and abuse in the United Kingdom today. Looking at how the current drug classification system and laws are failing the poorest and most disadvantaged members of society: The Underclasses and how mass-media driven false consensus fuels ideas and attitudes still in force today which were failing society fifty years ago this book is sociological dynamite. Now is the time for a fresh Neo-Modern perspective on the future of drug use, drug rehabilitation and a look to what drug subculture could become if the current classification system were relaxed and the people could 'have their cake and eat it'. Through looking at the 'designer drug' 'legal high' 'blanket ban' of the Novel Substances Act (2016) as an example of an elite engineered 'moral panic' to restrict and limit the progression of positive recreational drug use and liberal drug rehabilitation policy, which is 'more effective at preventing the negative social consequences of drug use, than any punitive measure.' this book in the sociology, social policy and psychology of drug use is without comparison. A gripping read for the discerning reader, astute academic and layperson alike...
