Title
Drugs and Narcotics in History,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This collection of essays explores the complex and contested histories of drugs and narcotics in societies from ancient Greece to the present day. It shows that the major substances so used, from herbs of the field to laboratoryproduced synthetic medicines, have a healing potential, and have been widely employed both within and outside the medical profession. Many of these substances, if taken improperly, are also highly toxic or even lethally poisonous. Some, being moodinfluencing and habitforming, are open to abuse and lead to addiction and are even objects of international contraband trade and the targets of 'drug wars.'
