More about the book
The first half of the twentieth century is explored through the lens of U.S. drug policy, highlighting the influence of manifest destiny and WASP ideals. Key events like the 1912 Hague Conference and the 1914 Harrison Act shape the landscape, while World War I prompts the introduction of the Volstead Act. The narrative examines responses to addiction, including Bishop's maintenance doses and England's Rolleston system, alongside Anslinger's leadership of the FBN. The book contrasts the relegalization of alcohol with the continued prohibition of heroin.
