"I bought this book for my daughter. It was recommended by her college instructor. She finds the book very informative & comprehensive. In short, it is a great assett in her studies to become a Drug Abuse Councelor."
"Whew! Glad this class is finally over! For a textbook, this was a pretty good one. It is very well laid out, has colorful graphs and illustrations, information is easy to find, and it is very readable. This book thoroughly covered the effects of various legal and illegal drugs on the brain, body and psyche, a history of drug use, and various educational, treatment and prevention programs."
