The war also doubled Britain’s debt which led to the passing of the Sugar Act, which taxed sugar going into the colonies.
Causal analysis and the detail it provides produce strong historical relationship between dislocation and addiction, especially in England in the 1500s. The authors emphasize drug addiction as the dependent variable, arising from the dislocation in the society itself. People tend to establish substitute lifestyles, often referring to drug use to compensate for their inability to participate in the community.
