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.
