SUMMARY

This collection of new 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 laboratory-produced synthetic medicines, have a healing potential, and have been widely employed both within and outside the medical profession, but have also become the object of abuse and controversy.Porter, Roy is the author of 'Drugs+narcotics in History' with ISBN 9780521431637 and ISBN 0521431638.
