“Understanding Drug Use and Abuse: A Global Perspective is an ambitious text that covers a lot of pertinent issues ranging from the historical development of drug policy to the physiology of drug use. … Understanding Drug Use and Abuse is definitely a student text that explains many of the taken-for-granted assumptions often evident in other books on drugs … . The book is well written and is a good text for both students and academics alike.” (Tammy Ayres, The British Journal of Criminology, Vol. 58 (2), February, 2018)
