每天早上,到了办公室,我会很自然地喝一杯咖啡。而在家呢!就沏上一杯龙井。 一些男同事(也包括部分女同事)每天会有几次时间站在办公室的大门外抽烟,轻松地说笑着,在烟雾中放松一会儿。 家里装修时,我去工地现场,发现装修工人尽管吃着简单的萝卜、白菜、馒头或米饭,...
评分 评分黄黄的书页,有一种想吃它的感觉,一个“瘾”字的出现,更让人觉得浑身痒痒的。在这个浮躁的时代,你是“瘾君子”吗?也许你会说我不是,我不吸毒,可是只有吸毒的人才是瘾君子吗?《上瘾五百年》会告诉你是“瘾君子”,它让我知道我是“瘾君子”,因为我是咖啡的傀儡。 作者...
评分原以为瘾品的传播仅仅因为它会让人上瘾、欲罢不能,而本书揭示了瘾品在全世界范围快速泛滥的根本原因是资本主义有目的地推动。它制造出人类的欲望,用瘾品满足人类的欲望,再挑起人类更大的欲望,再用更多的瘾品满足这更大的欲望,在这样无尽的循环中,资本攫取了极大...
评分很感激翻开这本书,因为这本书让我看到人类的另外一面,了解了更多关于瘾品以及人类,原来带着瘾品的有色眼镜看出来,世界是这样一种模样。 这本书非常全面的介绍了各种可以使人得到快乐感觉并最终会上瘾的各种瘾品,并且简要的介绍了500年以来在各个国家地区间这些瘾品的发展...

Why are coffee, tobacco, and marijuana available the world over, but not peyote or qat? Why are alcohol and tobacco legal, but not heroin or cocaine? What drives the drug, and how has it come to be what it is today - a vast, chequered pattern of use and abuse, medicine and recreation, commerce and interdiction? A global history of the acquisition of progressively more potent means of altering ordinary waking consciousness, this book provides the big picture of the discovery, interchange, and exploitation of the planet's psychoactive resources, from tea and kola to opiates and amphetamines. Offering a social and biological account of why psychoactive goods proved so seductive, David Courtwright tracks the intersecting paths by which popular drugs entered the stream of global commerce. He shows how the efforts of merchants and colonial planters expanded world supply, drove down prices, and drew millions of less affluent purchasers into the market, effectively democratizing drug consumption. He also shows how Europeans used alcohol as an inducement for native peoples to trade their furs, sell captives into slavery, and negotiate away their lands, and how monarchs taxed drugs to finance their wars and expanding empires. This text explains why such profitable exploitation has increasingly given way, over the last hundred years, to policies of restriction and prohibition - and how economic and cultural considerations have shaped those policies to determine which drugs are readily accessible, which strictly medicinal, and which forbidden altogether.
1.对人类具有成瘾性威胁的植物本身是为了令食草动物产生幻觉,从而自我保护 2.不同类的成瘾药物有相互抵消的效果(令我想起茶的醒酒作用)3.现在药物的成瘾(危害)性与受禁程度并不成正比,除却偶然因素,权力的干涉太重要了。(对我个人而言,这本书格外写实而亲切,《毒枭》中哥伦比亚与美国的纠葛、《广告狂人》中的Lucky Strike烟草公司与麦迪逊大街的合作与解散,竟然都有所提及。)

评分the key message is powerful. Behind global market and trade, economic forces and additive characteristics of the drugs are so intertwined.
