This is the story of Madame Joy. She represents the human desire for the kind of pleasures only drugs can induce. History presents us with many truths about our relationship with Madame Joy: that we've always used drugs and probably always will, that regulation is a matter of survival, that drugs can only induce pleasure and not happiness. Our truth, the first casualty of the drug war, is a global nightmare in which we flounder; too battered to stay the same, too scared to change.
'Madame Joy' seeks to remedy this situation, by presenting the socio-political, emotional and spiritual aspects of drug use in an intelligent, readable and entertaining format. In the end, there is only one reason for telling the story of human drug use and the politics of its regulation and that is to find clues for the construction of a wiser future. 'Madame Joy' was written out of their concern for a more vigorous and informed debate on drugs and their use in our society.
