Summary:
"Busted is a timely short history of Canadian drug prohibition and resistance to it. A history shaped by race, class, and gender concerns, and local, national and international events. In order to chart future drug policy it is well worth knowing Canada's unique history of drug prohibition. The book's main focus is on criminalized drugs, but images of alcohol and tobacco are included in order to illuminate how these drugs, although strongly contested at times, remain legal today. Susan Boyd is Distinguished Professor in the Faculty of Human and Social Development at the University of Victoria"--Provided by publisher.
