Drugs: Drugs, economics and policy
指出毒品消费、成瘾与社会解体之间并无必然联系，多数吸毒者是正常消费者，对相对价格有系统反应，对经济学和政策研究者有参考价值。
There is no necessary link between drug consumption, addiction and social disintegration. Empirical evidence suggests that a considerable share of the population has consumed illegal drugs during some period of their lives. A substantial proportion of drug users have a job and home. Many 'mature out' of drug consumption in their thirties. Most drug users are normal consumers responding systematically to relative prices.
