Canada?s drug laws are constantly changing. But what does Canada?s history of drug prohibition say about its future?Busted is an illustrated history of Canadian drug prohibition and resistance to that prohibition. Reproducing drawings, paintings, photographs, film stills and official documents from the 1700s to the present, Susan Boyd shows how Canada?sdrug prohibition policies evolved and were shaped by race, class and gender discrimination. This history demonstrates that prohibition and criminalization produces harm rather than benefits. Visually engaging and approachably written, Busted is a timely examination of Canada?s history of drug control and movements against that control. Susan Boyd argues that in order to chart the future, it is worthwhile for us as Canadians to know our history of prohibition. | Busted by Susan C. Boyd, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
