Synopsis

Ceremonial Chemistry: The ritual persecution of drugs, addicts, and pushers

About this title

Review:

"This highly original and fully appropriate title, something we have come to expect from Szasz's books, heralds an excellent sociological analysis of man's past and present relationships with drugs....Szasz takes the reader through a religious scenario as imaginatively symbolic and insightfully analytic as any morality play can be."
