War on the Drug War - Project Navigator

Table of contents:

Overview

This project began as a list of proposed book chapters. Some of the topics are too vague, some may be too narrow, and others may be better articulated another way or combined with other topics. This at least got both of us thinking.

1. is it a disease?
2. is it genetic?
3. the history of the teetotalers
4. the failure of abstinence
5. the domestic consequences of the war on drugs
6. the international consequences of the war on drugs
7. the endogenous factors to addiction
8. the exogenous factors to addiction
9. the use of controlled drinking in therapy
10. the use of harm reduction as public policy
