Saying Yes argues that the all-or-nothing thinking that has long dominated discussions of illegal drug use should give way to a wiser, subtler approach exemplified by the tradition of moderate drinking. Saying Yes further contends that the conventional understanding of addiction, portraying it as a kind of chemical slavery in which the user's values and wishes do not matter, is also fundamentally misleading.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51378969739487,"sku":"9781585423187","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/B3l2MKtxsm9781585423187.webp?v=1789264892","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/saying-yes-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
