Explore the contentious and multifaceted issue of drug decriminalization and legalization from a variety of perspectives.

Part of the Health and Medical Issues Today series, this book explores the contentious issue of decriminalizing and legalizing drugs through an accessible three-part structure. Part I provides readers with the background information they need to better understand and develop informed opinions about the topic. Chapters address the difference between decriminalization and legalization, explore the biochemistry of addiction, examine historical and contemporary decriminalization and legalization movements in the USA, and highlight international examples of decriminalization and legalization efforts. Part II delves into specific issues and controversies related to this subject, including physical and mental health consequences, the impact on crime and the criminal justice system, and the potential economic and social effects at both a local and national level. Coverage is balanced and unbiased, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions. Part III features five engaging case studies that help the subject come to life for readers and illustrate concepts and issues discussed in the text. A glossary and annotated directory of resources round out the volume.
