Wilful blindness to scientific facts has distorted the dispensation of justice, prevented lifesaving investigation, sidelined critics and thwarted advocates of politically inconvenient drugs law reform.This once in an epoch review by experts from a range of disciplines shows how lawmakers and the media have ignored the scientific evidence to sustain badly founded rhetoric in favour of blanket bans, punishment and the marginalisation of opponents. Countless individuals (including the vulnerable, deprived, addicted and mentally ill) have therefore suffered unnecessarily. This, the most comprehensive critique of the 1971 Act yet, rests on the combined learning of leading medical, scientific, psychiatric, academic, legal, drug safety and other specialists to provide sound reasons to re-think half a century of bad law.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 410gContributor: David Nutt (Edited by), Alex Stevens (Edited by), Ilana Crome (Edited by), The Rt Hon Norman Baker (Foreword by)Genre: MedicineAuthor: Alex StevensTopic: Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
