- Original and radical look at the place of drugs in
society.
- Looks honestly at drugs and intoxication, removing the smog of
taboo and prejudice, to discover the social factors that promote
drugs use and the labelling of drug users as deviant.
- Examines the full range of drugs – from coffee through
illegal drugs such as heroin and cocaine to twenty-first-century
self-improvement and lifestyle drugs such as Viagra.
- Discusses the rise of a ‘pharmaceutical society’ which defines new ‘problems’ and ‘conditions’ that require the creation and everyday consumption of yet more new drugs.
