Beware Euphoria

Beware Euphoria explores the cultural and historical roots of America's drug regulation, revealing how fears of intoxication have been shaped by societal attitudes toward morality rather than solely racial bias. Probing from the 19th century to modern debates, George Fisher examines how moral concerns about euphoria have driven anti-drug laws and their impact on social justice. The book also considers recent shifts, such as cannabis legalization and ongoing discussions about racial justice and drug policies.
