Abstract:
"Society's drug problem will persist, and debates over solutions will continue, getting nowhere, until we define our terms. This book is an effort to do just that - to parse the legal, moral, and philosophical underpinnings of any discussion of drug policy. A unique work in political philosophy, it focuses systematically on the normative, rather than the factual, aspects of the problem."--BOOK JACKET.
