Description

Dr. Junkie by Benjamin Boyce Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The war on drugs has long since lost any illusion of success. It is currently entering its second century of active combat, and drugs are cheaper and more abundant each year the war continues. Before 1914, drugs were legal in the United States. Heroin, cocaine, and morphine could be purchased at the corner store, and those who used drugs were generally contributing members of society. It wasn't until drugs were outlawed that all the problems began. Humans are drug-using creatures. We have always loved to get high, and we always will. All attempts to restrict drugs have thus far failed, and no penalty is harsh enough to prevent users from using. The war has resulted in little more than dangerous conditions for drug users. We must contend with risky street markets, polluted products, fake drugs, unsanitary conditions, and the violence which often accompanies underworld commodities. But there is a better way. Dr. Junkie is a roadmap for explaining how we got here, as well as how we can get out. Author Biography Benjamin Boyce grew up in Battle Creek, Michigan. He spent his first decade as an adult running the streets, shooting dope and hustling up enough cash for his next fix. Following an arrested in 2004, he was sentenced to prison for stealing to support his habit. After being granted paroled in 2005, he enrolled in college, completed a master's degree and then a PhD in Communication, and devoted himself to the study of drugs and the war against them. He now teaches college classes in Denver, Colorado, and will soon begin leading classes in the local prisons, where inmates receive college credits transferable to universities once they are released.
