520    In the United States today, the use or possession of many 
       drugs is a criminal offense. Can these criminal laws be 
       justified? What are the best reasons to punish or not to 
       punish drug users? These are the fundamental issues 
       debated in this book by two prominent philosophers of law.
       Douglas Husak argues in favor of drug decriminalization, 
       by clarifying the meaning of crucial terms, such as 
       legalize, decriminalize, and drugs; and by identifying the
       standards by which alternative drug policies should be 
       assessed. He critically examines the reasons typically 
       offered in favor of our current approach and explains why 
       decriminalization is preferable. Peter de Marneffe argues 
       against drug legalization, demonstrating why drug 
       prohibition, especially the prohibition of heroin, is 
       necessary to protect young people from self-destructive 
       drug use. If the empirical assumptions of this argument 
       are sound, he reasons, drug prohibition is perfectly 
       compatible with our rights to liberty.
