- W2506896905 abstract "Recent campaigns against drug abuse in Britain, the United States, Australia and in various countries making up the Asia-Pacific region have no doubt done a great deal to defeat old stereotypes about drugs, but chances are that when most of us think about ‘the drug problem’ we still tend to think of kids shooting up in shabby flats or sniffing glue behind railway stations. The truth, of course, is that just about all of us take drugs to lift us, relax us, dampen pain or just to escape. Heroin users and glue sniffers are no different in that sense. In the eighteenth century coffee was considered by medical experts to be a very dangerous drug and its use in the West was largely restricted to the Bohemian set living in Paris at the time. The point is that what we take to be ‘the drug problem’ in a given period of history is determined by the socially acceptable standards of the day, so the place to start in drug prevention work is by ridding ourselves of any inaccurate myths and fears about drugs themselves. After all, not only do illegal drugs have a similar purpose to legal drugs, they are no more dangerous. To take just one example, heroin creates less dependence than nicotine, is easier to give up than alcohol for a heavy drinker and thought to cause little long-term damage if pure and used in a controlled way." @default.
