Musto examines the relationz between public outcry and the creation of prohibitive drug laws from the end of the Civil War up to the present.

Here, Musto thoroughly investigates how our nation has dealt with such issues as the controversies over prevention programs and mandatory minimum sentencing, the catastrophe of the crack epidemic, the fear of a heroin revival, and the continued debate over the legalization of marijuana.
