Abstract
The work of Thomas Szasz and his position on drug policy and drug addiction is presented through his latest work, Our Right to Drugs: The Case for a Free Market, the main thesis of which is that individuals have a constitutional right to drugs. Szasz links this right with other rights such as the right to control one's body, the right to property, and the right to die. His position is shown to emanate consistently from a single philosophical premise and is outlined by textual citations from his writings. Szasz's intellectual importance is then suggested. Rationality is strengthened by defiance; that is why it is indifferent to consensus and eschews coercions. -Thomas Szasz, M.D. The Untamed Tongue
