Changing marijuana laws in the United States and Canada, the opioid crisis, and the rising costs of pharmaceuticals have sharpened the public's awareness of drugs and their regulation. Government, industry, and the medical profession, however, have a mixed record when it comes to framing policies and generating knowledge to address drug use and misuse. In Strange Trips Lucas Richert investigates the myths, meanings, and boundaries of recreational drugs, palliative care drugs, and pharmaceuticals as well as struggles over product innovation, consumer protection, and freedom of choice in the medical marketplace. Scrutinizing how we have conceptualized and regulated drugs amid the pressing and competing interests of state regulatory bodies, pharmaceutical and for-profit companies, scientific researchers, and medical professionals, Richert asks how perceptions of a product shift--from dangerous substance to medical breakthrough, or vice versa. Through close examination of archival materials, accounts, and records, he brings substances into conversation with each other and demonstrates the contentious relationship between scientific knowledge, cultural assumptions, and social concerns. Weaving together stories of consumer resistance and government control, Strange Trips offers timely recommendations for the future of drug regulations."-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 27 $a University of South Alabama $2 gnd 650 0 $a Drugs $z Canada. 650 0 $a Drugs of abuse $z Canada. 650 0 $a Drugs $z United States. 650 0 $a Drugs of abuse $z United States. 650 12 $a Legislation, Drug $x history. 650 22 $a Drug Misuse $x history. 650 22 $a History, 20th Century. 650 22 $a History, 21st Century. 650 22 $a Illicit Drugs $x history. 650 22 $a Substance-Related Disorders $x history. 651 2 $a Canada. 651 2 $a United States. 650 6 $a Medicaments $z Canada. 650 6 $a Drogues illicites $z Canada. 650 6 $a Medicaments $z Etats-Unis. 650 6 $a Drogues illicites $z Etats-Unis. 650 7 $a Drugs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00898761 650 7 $a Drugs of abuse. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00898981 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Arzneimittel $2 gnd 650 7 $a DrogenabhaÂngigkeit $2 gnd 650 7 $a Kultur $2 gnd 650 7 $a Pharmazie $2 gnd 650 7 $a Rauschgift $2 gnd 651 7 $a Kanada $2 gnd 650 7 $a Drogues $z Canada. $2 ram 650 7 $a Drogues $z Etats-Unis. $2 ram 776 08 $i Online version: $a Richert, Lucas, 1979- $t Strange trips. $d Montreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2019 $z 9780773556539 $z 9780773556539 $w (OCoLC)1080207951 776 1 $a Richert, Lucas, 1979- $t Strange trips.: $d Montreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2019. $k McGill-Queen's/Associated Medical Services studies in the history of medicine, health, and society ; $k McGill-Queen's/Associated Medical Services studies in the history of medicine, health, and society ; $w (CaOONL)2018905686X 830 0 $a McGill-Queen's/Associated Medical Services studies in the history of medicine, health, and society ; $v 51. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021012527.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ED5D0DCEC7F211EAB1F2873797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
