Summary
"Despite government inquiries, fierce debate and legislative, illicit drugs remain a major social and political problem in Australia. The war against drugs has failed resoundingly here and in most other countries. It is clear that where there is a strong demand for drugs, sources of supply will inevitably emerge." -- BOOK JACKET
