This book takes a reasonably serious look at the debate over drug legalization. Unfortunately, the bias of the authors is quite apparent in the way they look at the debate. Rather than sticking to presenting the various sides of the existing debate, the authors come at the issue from the assumption that legalization is a bad idea and from this viewpoint—not surprisingly—they find it difficult to convince themselves that that there are any real merits to the idea. What they end up creating is a relatively complete and comprehensive presentation of the viewpoint of those who are against legalization.
