STRANGE TRIPS: SCIENCE, CULTURE, AND THE REGULATION OF DRUGS
Book ID/图书代码： 08763019C00003
English Summary/英文概要： Drugs take strange journeys from the black market to the doctor’s black bag. Changing marijuana laws in the United States and Canada, the opioid crisis, and the rising costs of pharmaceuticals have sharpened the public’s awareness of drugs and their regulation. Government, industry, and the medical profession, however, have a mixed record when it comes to framing policies and generating knowledge to address drug use and misuse. In Strange Trips Lucas Richert investigates the myths, meanings, and boundaries of recreational drugs, palliative care drugs, and pharmaceuticals as well as struggles over product innovation, consumer protection, and freedom of choice in the medical marketplace. Scrutinizing how we have conceptualized and regulated drugs amid the pressing and competing interests of state regulatory bodies, pharmaceutical and for-profit companies, scientific researchers, and medical professionals, Richert asks how perceptions of a product shift ? from dangerous substance to medical breakthrough, or vice versa. Through close examination of archival materials, accounts, and records, he brings substances into conversation with each other and demonstrates the contentious relationship between scientific knowledge, cultural assumptions, and social concerns. Weaving together stories of consumer resistance and government control, Strange Trips offers timely recommendations for the future of drug regulation.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 毒品从黑市到医生的黑袋子有一段奇怪的旅程。美国和加拿大不断变化的大麻法律、阿片类药物危机以及不断上涨的药品成本提高了公众对毒品及其监管的认识。然而，政府、工业界和医学界在制定政策和生产知识以解决药物使用和误用方面的记录好坏参半。在《奇异之旅》中，卢卡斯•里歇特探讨了娱乐性药物、姑息治疗药物和药品的神话、意义和边界，以及在医疗市场上关于产品创新、消费者保护和选择自由的斗争。在国家监管机构、制药和营利性公司、科研人员和医疗专业人员的利益紧迫和相互竞争的情况下，我们如何概念化和监管药物?从危险物质到医学突破，反之亦然。通过对档案材料、账目和记录的仔细检查，他将各种内容带入了彼此之间的对话，并展示了科学知识、文化假设和社会关注之间存在争议的关系。《奇异之旅》交织了消费者抵制和政府控制的故事，为未来的药品监管提供了及时的建议。（WYL）
Awards/获奖情况：“里切特记录了迷幻药的重新出现，加拿大处方药——长期以来对美国人来说是一种低成本的替代品——是如何被诬蔑为美国“反恐战争”的一部分，以及美国人对节食的痴迷是如何让危险药物进入市场的。《奇异之旅》表明，药品监管更多的是关于文化，而不是产品安全。推荐。所有的读者。”——选读
“经过深思熟虑的组织和仔细的研究，《奇异之旅》独特地将不同的研究主题编织成一个关于控制和反抗的独特详细的历史记录。”——尼尔•博伊德，西蒙•弗雷泽大学
"Richert chronicles the reemergence of LSD, how Canadian prescription drugs - long a low-cost alternative for Americans - were vilified as part of the American "War on Terror," and how the American obsession with dieting has allowed dangerous drugs to enter the marketplace. Strange Trips suggests that drug regulation is more about culture than about product safety. Recommended. All readers." Choice
"Thoughtfully organized and carefully researched, Strange Trips uniquely weaves typically disparate subjects of study into a singular detailed historical account of control and resistance." Neil Boyd, Simon Fraser University
