这篇文章是一篇分析性评论，重点是英国政治家如何看待毒品问题以及价值观和证据对他们的相对影响。它借鉴了当代英国毒品问题和政策的更广泛的定性案例研究。在这个语境中，包罗万象的叙述起着主导作用，在这个语境中，大众媒体已经被证明是重要的。政客们很少挑战这些说法。许多人认为毒品是一个有毒的问题，最好避免。只要毒品问题出现在政治议程上，这个问题就被用作政治游戏中的武器。科学证据和冷静的评估已经从属于对选举的关注。
This article is an analytic commentary which focuses on how politicians in the UK view the drugs problem and the relative influence on them of values and evidence. It draws on a wider qualitative case study of the contemporary British drugs problem and policies. The context is one where over-arching narratives play a dominant role and in this the mass media have been shown to be important. Politicians rarely challenge these narratives. Many see drugs as a toxic issue, one best avoided. Where drugs have appeared on the political agenda, the issue has been used as a weapon in a political game. Scientific evidence and calm appraisal have been subordinated to electoral concerns.
