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.

评分就在刚才,我泡上一大杯斯里兰卡红茶,思忖着加些蜂蜜也许会更好喝,而这种饮用方法,是我看阿拉法特传记得知的。 就在昨天,我和好友坐在饮品店里,看着老板娘娴熟地打出奶泡调制咖啡,我在柜台后面细细观察了那几台咖啡机,出神地想着以后也要占有一台咖啡机,在家自己调咖啡...
评分 评分全书结束的时候,作者将构置瘾品于政治、经济、社会、科技、文化、宗教等多维视角的斑斓图层轰然推开,反溯于我们生活的这个时代及生活在这个时代的人们本身——也许只有这个视角才是最贴切于人本身的初始视角,便因此笼罩上了乡愿般的人的味道;瘾品的历史终究要还原到人...
