- Summary:
- Engaging, articulate, and brilliantly argued, On Drugs is destined to become a revolutionary classic that redefines what it means to be "high." Calling for the acceptance of a "diversity of consciousness," Lenson delivers a searing critique of the War on Drugs as an effort based, like all attempts to eradicate "getting high," on an incomplete understanding of human nature.
