Abstract

Faut-il décriminaliser, voire légaliser l'usage du cannabis ? Si oui, dans quel cadre législatif et pour qui ? Ces questions qui agitent les pouvoirs publics occidentaux depuis des décennies n'avaient pas encore fait l'objet d'études approfondies et complètes. Un comité spécial du Sénat canadien s'y est attaqué. Le rapport qu'il a rendu public a étonné tous les observateurs par la rigueur de ses recherches et l'audace de ses propositions. D'importantes ressources scientifiques ont été mobilisées pour faire le point : 23 rapports de recherches réalisés par des scientifiques de réputation internationale, plus de 200 témoins, chercheurs et spécialistes au Canada et à l'étranger, de nombreux groupes de discussion… Le débat sur le cannabis sort enfin sur la place publique. L'essentiel du rapport et toutes les recommandations se retrouvent dans ce livre. Le Comité propose des perspectives nouvelles face aux drogues illicites, rappelant la nécessité de trouver une politique différente et efficace « qui ne banalise ni ne marginalise les usages ». Novateur dans ses bases scientifiques et courageux dans ses recommandations, ce rapport, précédé d'une préface du sénateur Nolin, devient désormais indispensable à toute discussion sur le cannabis au niveau national et international.

Abstract

En mettant l’accent sur les pratiques sociales engendrées par la consommation plutôt que sur les implications politiques et économiques de l’offre, Xavier Paulès renouvelle la lecture historique de la question de l’opium. Nombre d’idées reçues sont remises en cause. Dans le Canton du premier tiers du XXe siècle où d’efficaces campagnes de stigmatisation se sont soldées par un recul général de la pratique et par sa quasi-disparition au sein des élites, Xavier Paulès montre avec force que l’opium n’a été ni un fléau de santé publique, ni un facteur de désintégration du corps social. Si la drogue résiste, c’est en partie grâce aux agréments qu’offrent les fumeries : l’enquête minutieuse qu’il leur consacre atteste qu’elles sont le lieu privilégié d’une sociabilité masculine de quartier. Cette étude nous plonge dans les mutations d’une société urbaine dont l’ampleur et la rapidité ne peuvent se comparer qu’à celles qu’on observe en Chine aujourd’hui. Rivalités politiques, transformation de l’ordre fiscal et administratif, affirmation d’une économie des loisirs, hiérarchie sociale, place des femmes, influence des sociétés secrètes et du monde du crime, construction d’une identité nationale, il n’est guère de question qui ne reçoive un éclairage nouveau et original.

Abstract

This is the first scholarly study in which the production, trade and political effects of opium and its derivatives are shown over many centuries, and in many countries (China, India, Indonesia, Japan, all Southeast Asian countries and some in Europe and the Americas). Starting in the 16th century, slavery and opium became the two means with which the bodies and souls of men and women in the tropics were exploited in western imperialism and colonialism. The first waned with the abolition movement in the 19th century, but opium production and trade continued to spread, with the associated serious social and political effects. Around 1670 the Dutch introduced opium as a cash crop for mass production and distribution in India and Indonesia. China became the main target in the 19th century, and only succeeded in getting rid of the opium problem around 1950. Then it had already been transformed from an “Eastern” into a “Western” problem.

Abstract

The importance of natural products, and especially plant secondary metabolites, for the treatment of diseases and drug development has already been obvious in medicine for several thousand years. Thus, this Special Issue of MDPI Biomedicines collects eight top articles from the field as regular full papers in addition to five reviews. All of the published papers are a vibrant source of information on the therapeutic potential of plant secondary metabolites in the treatment of diseases and drug development.

Abstract

An account of the activities of British merchants in China in the crucial years before the Treaty of Nanking (1842), which transformed the relations between the Celestial Empire and the Western 'barbarians' and placed them upon a footing that was to last for 100 years. Mr Greenberg shows how this change was brought about by the pressures of the expanding British economy of the early nineteenth century. Much of the material is based on the papers of Jardine Matheson and Co., the only firm of pre-treaty days to survive, and the largest of the British firms then established in Canton.
