Product Description

Customer Reviews:
5 out of 5 stars An excellent, rational, introductory text   February 6, 1996
5 out of 7 found this review helpful

An excellent general overview, covering drug use and regulation, pharmacological basics, in-depth analyses of the legal drugs, tranquilizers and stimulants, narcotics, hallucinogens, and marijuana, and comments on "a rational look at drug use." Well-documented with an abundance of relevant quotes and statistics; a rich set of references follow each chapter.

I bought this textbook for a class I had to take and can say that it is very informative, but a little dry.


1 out of 5 stars Outdated edition   March 13, 2003

The seller needs to list the edition he/she is selling This is a very out dated edition that was sold to me. The seller did not sent any return information like the other agencies did.
