Why are coffee, tobacco, and marijuana available the world over, but not peyote or qat? Why are alcohol and tobacco legal, but not heroin or cocaine? What drives the drug, and how has it come to be what it is today - a vast, chequered pattern of use and abuse, medicine and recreation, commerce and interdiction? A global history of the acquisition of progressively more potent means of altering ordinary waking consciousness, this book provides the big picture of the discovery, interchange, and exploitation of the planet's psychoactive resources, from tea and kola to opiates and amphetamines. Offering a social and biological account of why psychoactive goods proved so seductive, David Courtwright tracks the intersecting paths by which popular drugs entered the stream of global commerce. He shows how the efforts of merchants and colonial planters expanded world supply, drove down prices, and drew millions of less affluent purchasers into the market, effectively democratizing drug consumption. He also shows how Europeans used alcohol as an inducement for native peoples to trade their furs, sell captives into slavery, and negotiate away their lands, and how monarchs taxed drugs to finance their wars and expanding empires. This text explains why such profitable exploitation has increasingly given way, over the last hundred years, to policies of restriction and prohibition - and how economic and cultural considerations have shaped those policies to determine which drugs are readily accessible, which strictly medicinal, and which forbidden altogether.

评分从烟草在一战后随着退伍士兵和雇佣军风靡整个欧洲,政府屡禁不止最后无奈合法化正规化,到美国/俄国禁酒令的失败···就不难理解为什么大麻会逐渐在西方社会走向合法化···(作者在一开始有提到清朝政府用尖木桩刺进吸烟者的头,显然是西方媒体对远东的蛮夷幻想以讹传讹吧???尖木桩???

鸦片利润之高,云贵四川财政多倚重之;1906年新政拿它开刀,以重税行之,结果田价暴跌,暴民捣毁了四处税务所,官家努力弹压,民情汹涌。然后听说革命了,四川人民欢欣鼓舞,觉得这下算是自己人当家,总会通情达理让种大烟了。 古希腊人已然学懂得蒸馏法,尔后失...
评分每天早上,到了办公室,我会很自然地喝一杯咖啡。而在家呢!就沏上一杯龙井。 一些男同事(也包括部分女同事)每天会有几次时间站在办公室的大门外抽烟,轻松地说笑着,在烟雾中放松一会儿。 家里装修时,我去工地现场,发现装修工人尽管吃着简单的萝卜、白菜、馒头或米饭,...
评分曾经看过一个直角坐标系,横轴是毒性,纵轴是成瘾性,把各式各样的“瘾品”放在其中对比,其中大麻的成瘾性排在很低的地方,甚至低于烟草和酒精。在各个国家里,各类瘾品受管制的程度也是各不相同的。而这本书大约就是从历史、经济角度梳理这方面的沿革。 一开始读的时候,有一...
评分这本还是蛮有启发性的。 开始当作解答“为什么”的书来读,想要了解关于人类和瘾品的关系,我们为什么会上瘾:嗜咖啡、糖、烟草、买买买……读到后面便会联想到郑也夫的那本《后物欲时代的来临》,它们有共同的主题:对消费主义全球漫滥的思考。 海洛...
评分前段时间,国内明星因为吸毒事件闹得沸沸扬扬,作为一个公众人物,他们带来的负面影响还是非常大的。其实自今年以来,因为吸毒被投进监狱的歌手、演员、导演已有不少,而且有的人吸毒史长达数年之久,由此看出毒品的隐有多厉害。 在书中,戴维•考特莱特为我们详细讲述了多...
