这本书提供了第一个多学科和无党派的分析，美国应该如何决定可卡因，海洛因和大麻的法律的地位。它借鉴了西欧国家的经验，这些国家的毒品政策惩罚性较低，同时也对美国世纪前法律的可卡因和海洛因的经验以及美国对赌博、卖淫、酒精和香烟的管制进行了新的分析。它提供了一些不同的合法化制度的可能后果的预测，并表明，如何管理毒品的选择涉及复杂的权衡目标和社会群体之间的冲突。这本书提出了一个复杂的讨论，社会应该如何处理的不确定性后果的法律的变化。最后，它从个人对风险的态度方面解释了为什么在美国完成毒品政策的实质性改革如此困难。
This book provides the first multidisciplinary and nonpartisan analysis of how the United States should decide on the legal status of cocaine, heroin and marijuana. It draws on data about the experiences of Western European nations with less punitive drug policies as well as new analyses of America's experience with legal cocaine and heroin a century ago, and of America's efforts to regulate gambling, prostitution, alcohol and cigarettes. It offers projections on the likely consequences of a number of different legalization regimes and shows that the choice about how to regulate drugs involves complicated tradeoffs among goals and conflict among social groups. The book presents a sophisticated discussion of how society should deal with the uncertainty about the consequences of legal change. Finally, it explains, in terms of individual attitudes toward risk, why it is so difficult to accomplish substantial reform of drug policy in America.
