Excellent read!! A very thorough description of, what I believe to be, the final nail in the coffin of prohibitionist dominated drug policy. The authors writing style was eloquent enough to make the usually dry topic of chemistry interesting for the average reader.The history of what happened after the great Cambodian safrole burn, and resulting MDMA shortage that gave rise to the current research chemical experiment, is thoroughly documented from a British perspective. Many examples of personal correspondence with key players give this book a depth not regularly seen.If you're looking for a drug 'cookbook' this is not for you.If you're looking for a detailed history of drugs and/or dark web areas associated drugs, over the last decade, you couldn't find a better record than this book.There are no pictures which sometimes I feel help the reader mentally put themselves in the time and place described but this book was fine without it so I'm not going to reflect that in my rating.Great job Mike Power!
With "Drugs 2.0" Mike Power manages to a new journalistic bar that successfully covers and treats such radical and strange emergent social phenomena as digital drug/psychonaut culture with surprising sophistication and balance, in the process breaking from long-standing traditions of lazy capitulation to old media dynamics of either senselessly demonizing -- or, in some cases, glorifying -- the activity of recreational drug use and the subcultures/subjectivities that have and will continue to form around them.Not only is this book a great professional treatment of this niche topic (and Mike Power its current authoritative voice), it's also just a fun, riveting and accessible bit of contemporary journalistic writing. A real treat, even if you're not a hardcore psychonaut or drug nerd. A little interest in counterculture is all you need.
Really interesting topic, and generally solid execution. A look at a fascinating and quickly evolving world that is hidden from most of us. Very interesting to see how advances in chemistry, knowledge sharing, and e-commerce blend in a way that doesn't get much attention.
Great book explaining the cat and mouse game being played on psycho pharmaceuticals.
fine
Author gets to the point.
I was expecting something else. Nice cover.
NOTE: The opinions within this review are that of myself and have been in no way influenced by the publisher, author, or the Goodreads website from which I obtained my Advanced Reader Copy.I recently received a proper ARC copy of Mike Powers’ Drugs Unlimited via Goodreads. This book is an updated and soon to be more widely available version of his book Drugs 2.0; and it is one of the most amazing and disturbing books that I have ever read. It is amazing because of Mr. Power's ability to explain the current situation surrounding Drugs in our modern global internet age: the chemistry – which is very understandable for the layman – the politics, and the social history; as well as, his access to information from sources that must, due to the situation surrounding the topic, remain as anonymous as possible. However, it is disturbing for much of the same reasons: understanding the social aspects of modern drug culture, the politics that lead to ever more dangerous acts by the users, and the chemistry that leads to the deaths of people.Before diving into the book it is important to understand a bit of background. I was, and in some ways still am, a Raver, even though, my chosen profession means that I travel and do not have access to the Modern Western Technological World for months and years at a time. However, I try my hardest, wherever I am living, to support the scene; and, as a result, have many times been exposed to some of the seediest sides of the Drug Culture. I know people who have never tried a drug in their life, to people who, for whatever reason, can’t seem to live without it – be it using or selling. Consequently, I have also been exposed to the changing atmosphere and social norms surrounding the drugs and was excited that I was going to receive this book so as to understand much of the darker and stranger parts of the modern clime; especially since it is always fascinating when listening to the pre-internet user and the post-internet user never quite understanding each other.Drugs Unlimited, which mostly focuses on Mr. Power's home country of Great Britain, takes us from the first chapter’s brief overview of the history of drug use: the 9000 year old wad of fossilized chewed plant material that contained various psychedelics, the Grandfather of Chinese medicine, and creation of the first Drug Laws; through the birth of the internet, where the very first purchase online using ARPANET was marijuana; into today’s Dark Web online deals that can deliver high quality drugs right to your doorstep. The book explains in excellent and comprehensible language how the 1970’s counter-culture and the birth of chemical psychedelics (LSD, MDMA, etc.) has evolved into today’s drug culture, and how the prohibition from the War on Drugs has led to today’s quagmire of quasi-legal research chemicals of which little to nothing is known outside of the trip reports posted on various web forums. In addition, he paints the disturbing picture of the truth of how the War on Drugs has failed and that these failed and outdated laws both cannot keep up with the ever evolving sphere of drugs, and are at this point doing more harm to society than good. He also shows how the governments of the world’s decisions led to the creation of the Dark Web and websites such as the infamous Silk Road which, in many ways, are a reaction to the increasing Totalitarian Police States of the modern Western World. Plus, an amazingly astute and simple explanation of Bitcoin’s, their use, their creation, and their meaning.The introduction to this, arguable seminal piece on Drug Culture and the Internet, poses the idea that perhaps, in the world’s War on Drugs, the Drugs have won. Is this true? Quite possibly, and the book makes an near unassailable argument for this position because, even while the ‘Free World’ becomes ever more Draconian, and the NSA and her counterparts around the world seek to invade the privacy of every user on the internet – and even with programs such as Tor, as Edward Snowden has shown, the spy agencies meta-data programs can track the informational flow – the drug trade is bigger and more open than ever before, if not as safe as the Silk Road era just a few years ago. The book shows how, all too often, the anachronistic ideology surrounding the drug prohibition has led to the true endangerment of society. In fact, it becomes very obvious that the only reason why there have not been major overhauls to the system stems from the entrenched interests of politicians and Big Brother.However, regardless as to whether you are for continuing Prohibition, Decriminalization, or for full Legalization; or if you are a user, abuser, politician, law enforcement agent, concerned parent, curious as to the drug culture, and most especially, a journalist, this is a must read. Although Mr. Power, quite rightly, takes the neutral stance, and never once passes judgment in any direction, it is hard for an intelligent non-ideologue individual to not realize that something is wrong with the way things are. Finally, I would say that the analysis and arguments presented within Drugs Unlimited paint a picture of both the hopes and despairs of not just the minute segment of free thinkers and ‘psychonauts’, but also of anyone who truly values their private individual freed
