Drug Abuse explores all aspects of this complex and important issue in an unbiased and well-organized manner. It identifies specific drugs and covers the history of U.S. drug regulation, current approaches to treating addiction, and the way drug abuse has shaped public policy. This valuable reference examines laws such as the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act and the 1970 Controlled Substances Act, court cases such as Leary v. United States, and the role various federal agencies play in regulating drugs.
