This article examines how a state campaign against an unprecedented rise in drug and substance abuse became enmeshed in domestic politics characterized by interethnic rivalry due to the monopolization of patent medicine enterprises by migrants in Kano, the most populous state of Nigeria. In 2013, Kano ranked first in the hierarchy of drug and substance abuse because of poorly regulated patent medicine enterprises aggravated by the unscrupulous practices of some entrepreneurs. Using extant sources, this article explores and analyzes the degree of influence that domestic politics exercised in the campaign against drug and substance abuse in Kano from 1999 to 2016. The Kano state government-led campaign against new dimensions of drug and substance abuse worked through the exercise of effective control over patent medicine enterprises in Sabon Gari. This campaign was frustrated by politics, resistance, and litigation in ways that allowed the problem to persist.

This article examines calumba root as a mobile scientific object in global history. The narrative begins with the first mention of calumba as an antidote from the “Indies” by an Italian physician in 1671. In the late seventeenth century and into the eighteenth century, European healers prescribed the root for gastrointestinal diseases. These authors believed the plant to be indigenous to South Asia, particularly Colombo, Ceylon. By the late eighteenth century, most doctors knew it as the “Mozambique root.” However, Europeans denied the plant’s southeast African provenance until 1808. Europeans disavowed calumba’s origins in Africa while appropriating it into their own pharmacology. American physicians likewise searched for calumba in the trans-Appalachian west by simultaneously plundering the science of Indigenous American nations. These two strands of calumba’s history illuminate how Euro-American medicine relied on and obscured African and Amerindian knowledge.

Based on the examples of treating sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) after the World War II, the distribution of Western insulin at the beginning of the 1960s, and the issue of addiction and the use of aversion therapy during the last two decades of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), this article investigates gender-specific experiences of patients in a socialist society. The District of Dresden is used as a microstudy to examine state authorities as policy makers, doctors as prescribers, and patients as consumers. It shows that persistent gender bias and traditional gender roles affected the social and medical treatment of people with STDs, diabetes, or addiction, to the detriment of women. Doctors withheld penicillin after 1945, for example, using the outdated therapy for STDs to educate their female patients. More broadly, this article contributes to the ever-growing body of literature that complicates the medical and sociocultural history of the GDR.

The prohibition of dagga (cannabis) in South Africa, according to the Customs and Excise Duties Amendment Act No. 35 of 1922, affected Africans who had long-standing histories of dagga consumption as a part of everyday practice of their culture. Authorities worked to control the possession, cultivation, and use of dagga and to counter the illicit dagga economies that emerged during this period. Police annual records reveal a bigger picture of policing midcentury (1932–60), a period spanning the colonial and apartheid eras that saw significant changes in policies affecting civic liberties generally. Policing affected areas like the Transvaal and Natal provinces, based on geographical locations and racial groups, as the focus shifted from demand to supply in the 1950s. This article investigates three factors to account for the pattern of seizures and arrests in the 1950s: cannabis laws, changes in government from colonial to apartheid, and the 1952 report of the Interdepartmental Committee of the Abuse of Dagga.

This article explores the political and social factors behind the adoption of liquor dispensaries in the US South between 1893 and 1907. This wave of state and municipal liquor stores emphasized off-site consumption, a feature that was relatively unique for the time period. Once southern political leaders found that prohibition did little to prohibit the saloon and not wanting to see its return, they sought a middle ground. I argue that it was the presence of pharmacies and the broader acceptance of medicinal liquor as an exception to prohibition that made these off-site arrangements appealing to reformers.
