More about the book

The history of drug prohibition and the war on drugs is explored, revealing its origins in China rather than the commonly assumed Western contexts. The narrative emphasizes that drug suppression arose from historical accidents rather than deliberate planning. As the book examines the impact of this global anti-narcotics order, it questions the effectiveness of the war on drugs in light of rising opioid deaths and cartel violence, advocating for a reevaluation of current policies and approaches to drug regulation.
