Dissertation on America's push for punitive drug laws

Submitted by David Borden on

Certainly not light reading at over 300p, but I just came across Nathaniel Lee Smith's 2007 dissertation for UNC, Cured of the habit by force : the United States and the global campaign to punish drug consumers, 1898-1970 (via the Alcohol and Drugs History Society)

If you wonder who came up with this idea of criminalizing drug use and pushed it on the world, here you go.
