Setting public policy on drugs: a choice of social values / 'Unmaking manly smokes': church, state, governance, and the first anti-smoking campaigns in Montreal, 1892-1914 / From flapper to sophisticate: Canadian women university students as smokers, 1920-60 / 'Their medley of tongues and eternal jangle': liquor control and ethnicity in Ontario, 1927-44 / Becoming a 'hype': drug laws, subculture formation, and resistance in Canada, 1945-61 / 'Just say know': criminalizing LSD and the politics of psychedelic expertise, 1961-8 / Setting boundaries: LSD use and glue sniffing in Ontario in the 1960s / From beverage to drug: alcohol and other drugs in 1960s and 1970s Canada / Considering the revolving door: the inevitability of addiction treatment in the criminal justice system / Biopolitics, geopolitics, and the regulation of club drugs in Canada / Afterword: a personal reflection on the law and illicit-drug use / Line Beauchesne -- Jarrett Rudy -- Sharon Anne Cook -- Dan Malleck -- Catherine Carstairs -- Erika Dyck -- Marcel Martel -- Greg Marquis -- Dawn Moore -- Kyle Grayson -- Alan Young.
"Recent debate around the potential decriminalization of marijuana, along with a growing perception that illicit drug use is on the rise, has brought the role of the state in controlling intoxication to the forefront of public discussion. Until now, however, there has been little scholarly consideration of the legal and social regulation of drug use in Canada. In The Real Dope, Edgar-Andre Montigny brings together leading scholars from a diverse range of fields - including history, law, political science, criminology, and psychology - to examine the relationship between moral judgment and legal regulation. Highlights of this collection include rare glimpses into how LSD, cocaine, and ecstasy have historically been treated by authority figures. Other topics explored range from anti-smoking campaigns and addiction treatment to the relationship between ethnicity and liquor control. Readers will find intriguing links across arguments and disciplines, providing a much-needed foundation for meaningful discussion."--Pub. desc.
