Quick FixesDrugs in America from Prohibition to the 21st Century Binge\nAuthor(s): Benjamin Yen-Yi Fong\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Verso Books, United Kingdom\nImprint: Verso Books\nISBN-13: 9781804290170, 978-1804290170\nSynopsis\nThis is your nation's history on drugs\n\nAmericans are stumbling through a world-historic drug binge. Opiates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, marijuana, antidepressants, antipsychotics-across the board, consumption has shot up in the twenty-first century. At the same time, the United States is home to the largest prison system in the world, justified in part by a now zombified \""war\"" on drugs. How did we get here?\n\nQuick Fixes blows away the pharmacological fog to take a sober look at how drugs have shaped American society. Though particularly acute in recent decades, the contradiction between America's passionate love for and intense hatred of these sub - stances has been one of its defining characteristics for over a century. Through nine chapters?
