This blog is designed as an interactive space for those interested in a critical sociology of drugs. As someone with a background in both sociology and public health policy, I am looking for critical perspectives on drug use and how we respond to it. I am especially interested in bringing together medical sociology and the sociology of the body to better understand the lived experiences of drug users. -Julie Netherland

Highly recommend this book
If you are looking for a critical and inventive look at methadone that goes beyond condemning it as foucauldian form of restraint, check out fraser and valentine's book, substance and substitution: methadone subjects in liberal societies. these australian scholars have done a great job of combining a rich theoretical discussion with empirical research.
