A no-holds-barred but balanced account, it shows that drug suppression was born of historical accident, not rational design. The war on drugs did not originate in Europe or the United States, and even less with President Nixon, but in China. Two Opium Wars followed by Western attempts to atone for them gave birth to an anti-narcotics order that has come to span the globe. But has the war on drugs succeeded? As opioid deaths and cartel violence run rampant, contestation becomes more vocal, and marijuana is slated for legalization, Opium's Orphans proposes that it is time to go back to the drawing board."-- $c Amazon.com. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 341-393) and index. 650 0 $a Drug abuse $x Prevention. 650 0 $a Drug abuse $x History. 650 0 $a Opium abuse $x History. 650 6 $a Toxicomanie $x PreÌvention. 650 6 $a Toxicomanie $x Histoire. 650 6 $a Opiomanie $x Histoire. 650 7 $a Drug abuse. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00898480 650 7 $a Drug abuse $x Prevention. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00898521 650 7 $a Opium abuse. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01430932 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781789145595 941 $a 2 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011602.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20221012010827.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=30F060C049F311ED9CAF447533ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
