Product Description

Will Self

"Dr Phil Robson has written a wise and humane book, which avoids the easy generalizations and tired shibboleths of the 'drug debate' for an informed and interesting perspective. Thank heavens there are still professionals who are prepared to go against the grain of contemporary drug policy and offer some innovative and forward-looking solutions to the problem of drug use. I urge anyone interested in the issues surrounding illegal drugs to read this book"


Review

Dr Phil Robson has written a wise and humane book, which avoids the easy generalizations and tired shibboleths of the "drug debate" for an informed and interesting perspective. Thank heavens there are still professionals who are prepared to go against the grain of contemporary drug policy and offer some innovative and forward-looking solutions to the problem of drug use. I urge anyone interested in the issues surrounding illegal drugs to read this book. Will Self

Philip Robson has brought his excellent Forbidden Drugs up to date. In the public jousting to condemn a small group of drugs as evil, addictive and a threat to civilisation, Robson's cool look at the history, content and use of drugs is refreshing. (New Scientist )

I have yet to find a better book on the subject." The Sunday Mirror
