This book examines the origins and outcomes of Sweden's repressive drug legislation criminalising the use of drugs, and allowing for the compulsory treatment of people with drug dependencies. The book addresses the impacts of these laws on the levels of drug use in Sweden, on the dynamics of drug use, and upon the lives and lived realities of people who use drugs.

The work also discusses Sweden's attempts to promote this policy at international level. It is argued that a far cry from Sweden's reputation as an inclusive, liberal welfare state, Swedish prohibitionism has made drug use more dangerous and has resulted in the marginalisation and spatial/social exclusion of people who use drugs.
