Clarence Lusane's Pipe Dream Blues deals with the
history of controlled substance regulation by the state. In the
course of this argument, it discusses the hypocrisy inherent in
having a racialized drug policy emerge in the late 1800s at a
time when African-american drug use and access to drugs was nil
to none.
