Drugs have been used in many ways since antiquity - for relaxation,
as aphrodisiacs, for medical purposes, as stimulants and for pain
relief. In this book the author examines the abuse of drugs in the
West and the social problems that arise from their use; the value
of the illegal drugs business which is now one of the four largest
money-earners in the world; the involvement of governments (openly
or covertly) in this lucrative trade; and the failure of drug
enforcement programs either to curtail the supply of drugs or to
persuade users to abandon their habit. Particular chapters examine
the major sources of drugs - cocaine from South America; heroin
from the Golden Triangle and the Golden Crescent in Asia; the
constantly changing routes used for the distribution of drugs; the
growth of African involvement in drug trafficking; the role of
Europe as both a major drug consuming region and source of drugs in
the ecstasy group; the problem of money-laundering. Finally, the
author examines the impact, success or failure of anti-drug
programs and looks at alternative ways of dealing with the problem.
