A timely and gripping investigation of illegal drugs in the UK.
Filled with fascinating and shocking case studies gathered over
twenty years of investigative reporting, it explodes many of the
myths and misconceptions about drug use, and makes a compelling
case for a new way forward. Looking at the dealers, the users, the
police and the politicians, Narcomania charts how consumption and
markets have fragmented and changed over the last decade; follows
the money to reveal where Britain's licit and illicit economies
overlap; explains where each of the major recreational drugs comes
from; and maps which drugs are popular in different parts of the
country. It will explode many of the myths and misconceptions about
drug use, and tap into fraught debates about how politicians,
parents and police should respond. In the wake of the internet
boom, globalisation and a decade of decadence, Britain sits at a
crossroads in the legalisation-versus-intolerance debate. While
other nations have succeeded with progressive experiments, inertia
and self-contradiction define British drug policy to the detriment
of everyone except the criminal underworld. Unsurprisingly, in the
light of this book, our politicians are confused about what will
please or displease the all-important middle class electorate.
Equally unsurprisingly, however, so much myth and confusion
surrounds the subject that clarity must be brought to chaos if the
wisdom of the crowd is ever to surface....
