Excellent job of compiling a bibliography;  many thanks.

I do note a few omissions.  Please try to have a look at these, and (I
hope) add them to your list.

*Our Right to Drugs by Thomas Szasz (Praeger, 1994)
(also Szasz's earlier Ceremonial Chemistry)
--much along the lines of Richard Miller's Praeger book, only more so.

* Power, Ideology, and the War on Drugs
by Christina Jacqueline Johns (Praeger, 1991 or 2)
-- gets into US domestic and foreign policy carried out in the name of
the "war on drugs"  here are the chapters:
1	The Domestic Costs of the War on Drugs 
2	The International Costs of the War on Drugs
3	Why the Administration Continues to Pursue a Policy of
Criminalization and
Enforcement 
4	Expansion of Domestic State Power
5	Latin American "Democracies in Jeopardy"
6	Expansion of U.S. State Power in Latin Amenca
7	The Road Forward	

*** several by Stanton Peele:
* The Truth about Addiction and Recovery
* The Meaning of Addiction: Compulsive Experience & Its Interpretations
* Diseasing of America : addiction treatment out of control
* Visions of Addiction: Major Contemporary Perspectives on Addiction &
Alcoholism




*Sex, drugs, death and the law: an essay on human rights and
overcriminalization
by David A.J. Richards 
Rowman and Littlefield, Totowa NJ, 1982
---the guy's a law professor;  the book very tightly argued.


* Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do:  
The Absurdity of Consensual Crimes in a Free Society 
by Peter McWilliams
Prelude Press, LA, 1993
Baker Stacks KF/9434/M39/1993
--- a work of art;  a tour de force;  a labor of love



Also, maybe you're purposely leaving out books about pot, but I was
surprised not to see
  *The Emperor Wears No Clothes
   by Jack Herer 
and

 * marihuana reconsidered
by Lester Grinspoon
