Items related to The Truth About Drugs
Police and judges say the war against drugs is lost. Parents, schools, and governments are confused about how to prevent abuse. At the same time, some of the worst predictions about new drug epidemics have turned out to be scare stories. What is the truth, and how should we respond? Patrick Dixon takes a look at the facts, with some surprising conclusions, and calls for urgent action. Among the topics he covers are: why people use drugs and why they stop; how addictions develop on a large scale; how drugs impact the brain; why drug epidemics come and go; the role of genes and personality; the cost of addiction and control; why governments are scared of prevention; treatment; and legalization. This challenging book includes a point-by-point course of action for governments as well as for concerned citizens and professionals. Dr. Patrick Dixon's books include The Rising Price of Love, The Truth About AIDS, and AIDS and You.
