The Strange Career of Marihuana: Politics and Ideology of Drug Control in America, Vol. 94 - Jerome L. Himmelstein - Hardcover

'œDrawing upon primary data from both popular periodicals and other reports, Himmelstein has developed a tightly reasoned content analysis of changes in marijuana laws and of the public image of this drug. His treatment of the role of ideas in the development of law and public policy regarding marijuana makes this work more than just a historical account of events since the passage of the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937. Both professionals and general readers can understand and enjoy this account of changing ideas and changing laws on marijuana. There is a detailed methodological index and an excellent current bibliography. ... Every public and undergraduate library should have a copy of Himmelstein's work.'' ChoiceHimmelstein, Jerome L. is the author of 'The Strange Career of Marihuana: Politics and Ideology of Drug Control in America, Vol. 94 - Jerome L.
