DRUGS AND RIGHTSHUSAK D.wydawnictwo: CAMBRIDGE , rok wydania 1992, wydanie Icena netto: This timely and important book is the first serious work of philosophy to address the
question: Do adults have a moral right to use drugs for recreational purposes? Many
critics of the war on drugs denounce law enforcement as counterproductive and ineffective.
Douglas Husak argues that the war on drugs violates the moral rights of adults who want to
use drugs for pleasure, and that criminal laws against such use are incompatible with
moral rights. This is not a polemical tract but a scrupulously argued work of philosophy
that takes full account of all available data concerning drug use in the United States
today. The author is careful to describe the properties a recreational drug would have to
possess before the state would be justified in prohibiting it. Since criminal laws against
the use of recreational drugs are justified neither by the harm users cause to themselves
nor by the harm users cause to each other, Professor Husak concludes that such laws are,
in almost all cases, unjustified. Table of Contents1. Drugs, drug use, and criminalization 2. Drugs and harm to users 3. Drugs and harm to others 4. Restrictions on drug use 312 pages
