Sommario/riassunto |
|
This text tackles one of the central issues in drug policy: the lack of a coherent conceptual structure for thinking about drugs. Battin and her contributors lay a foundation for a wiser drug policy by promoting consistency and coherency in the discussion of drug issues and by encouraging a dialogue across disciplines. |
