Reviews
Thoughtfully organized and carefully researched, Strange Trips uniquely weaves typically disparate subjects of study into a singular detailed historical account of control and resistance. Neil Boyd, Simon Fraser University
Lucas Richert provides a fascinating, engagingly written, and broadly scoped introduction into the complex history of a number of drugs as well as several key themes in the history of modern drug regulation. Its rich themes will provide significant interest to scholars working in a wide variety drug, regulatory, and medical consumer related areas. Bulletin of the History of Medicine Richert chronicles the reemergence of LSD, how Canadian prescription drugs - long a low-cost alternative for Americans - were vilified as part of the American War on Terror, and how the American obsession with dieting has allowed dangerous drugs to enter the marketplace. Strange Trips suggests that drug regulation is more about culture than about product safety. Recommended. All readers.
