Excellent account of narcotic use, from old-timers.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Addicts Who Survived: An Oral History of Narcotic Use in America, 1923-1965 (Hardcover)
The stories describe life in the opium dens, dealing with the Federal Narcotics Farms (Texas & Kentucky)and dealing with the pressures applied in the Anslinger era. It's a telling exposé of how little progress has been made in Drug Control Policy.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Addicts Who Survived: An Oral History of Narcotic Use in America, 1923-1965 (Hardcover)
This is a great book. It contains fascinating accounts from the addicts who did survive the "classic" era of opioid addiction. As an added bonus, Drs. Dole and Nyswander have given interviews recorded in this book. This is a bit of addiction treatment history that should not be forgotten.
