Synopsis

"Who will ever relate the history of narcotica?" asked Nietszche, adding that it is almost the history of culture itself. In this comprehensive study of intoxication throughout the ages, Stuart Walton argues that the alteration of consciousness has a very real and necessary role within human society. Drawing on anthropological, sociological, medical and historical research, Stuart Walton claims that intoxication is a fundamental human right, central to our status as social beings.
