Can anyone recommend a good text on sociopharmacology? Something like Montesquieu's The Spirit of the Laws except about the differences between national / regional cultures based on their differing diets of psychoactive substances? I recently heard (in that anti-American al Jazeera 4th of July video) that USA consumes 80% of the world's painkillers — what is unique about American behavior due to that?
