If you have a chance this
month, pick up a copy of the May edition of Harper's Magazine (on newsstands
now) and read "Good Drugs, Bad Drugs" by Joshua Wolf Shenk. The piece
raises very interesting and very important questions about an American
culture in which millions of people ingest perfectly legal mood altering
drugs to battle everything from depression to hyperactivity, while other
drugs, many with identical effects on the brain, are outlawed and demonized
and their users imprisoned. The piece tackles the hypocrisy of our
policies from a thought-provoking and informed perspective.
Good Drugs, Bad Drugs is
simply a must-read, beautifully written by one of the nation's finest and
most intelligent young writers. And after you read the article (assuming
you are as impressed as we were), consider sending a note to the editors
to commend them for publishing it.
If you can't find Harper's
at your local newsstand, you can order a copy by calling (212) 614-6508.
