Virtually all known human groups have devised and regularly used techniques for altering consciousness, among which alcohol and drugs are prominent. James B. Bakalar and Lester Grinspoon offer a provocative analysis of the philosophical and historical foundations for efforts to control these techniques in industrial societies. What are the rights of individuals to diversity and enrich their experience? What, conversely, are the obligations of governments to protect their citizens? The authors explore the relevance to drug control of traditional doctrines of political liberty. They discuss the ideas of addiction, dependence, and compulsive drug use, central in both medical and legal definitions of drug abuse. They consider the history and sociology of modern drug control, and go on to present a useful typology of the forms of drug control. After assessing each point, they examine alternative ways of looking at what is usually called the drug problem. The book will be of interest to all those concerned with drugs and social control, in a wide range of fields

In this paper, control policies refer to governmental strategies aimed at influencing the availability of alcohol and drugs. The Nordic countries have a long tradition of control policy which has also had an impact internationally. Central characteristics of the developement of the control of alcohol, narcotics and psychotropics are described. Attention is paid especially to similarities and differences between the Nordic countries. Denmark differs most from the other Nordic countries and the differences are clearest in alcohol control. In Finland, Norway and Sweden a tendency toward more stringent alcohol control has recently emerged after an era of liberalization in the 50's and 60's. Narcotics policy is characterized by support for existing international agreements regarding criminal-political measures. As to psychotropics, no clear-cut control policy has so far been developed.

While drug control laws tend to reduce the incidence of drug use, their enforcement is not without cost to society. Among the most obvious costs is the development of black markets in drugs and the criminalization of users. Modest control laws can substantially reduce drug use without incurring serious social costs. However, increasing the severity of control laws adds less and less to the benefits achieved and more and more to the costs to society. Ultimately the costs outweigh the benefits. We should aim for optimum levels of control by weighing both the benefits and costs of our drug control laws.
