Book Description:
This comprehensive reference guide describes more than 130 alphabetically arranged drugs of abuse, including both pharmaceutical and natural products. The book begins with a discussion of federal drug scheduling and drug categories. Individual entries for particular substances of abuse follow. Drug descriptions include: correct pronunciation, nicknames or street names, legal status, historical and present uses and misuses, abuse factors, interactions with other drugs, and findings of cancer risks and birth defects. Scientific information is presented in a clear, simple manner designed for students and general readers alike. In addition to the A-Z descriptions, Miller provides an explanation of general drug types, such as stimulants and hallucinogens, as well as the aspects of drug abuse, including tolerance and withdrawal. A list of print and electronic sources is also included for readers seeking further information.
Review:
This is the best review of todays problem drugs. The Encyclopedia is much better than the deceptive and misleading presentation of drugs by the Bush administration. If the truth will set you free, The Encyclopedia of Addictive Drugs is well on its way to the truth. A book to help with the facts. Punitive dialogues of todays official positions need to be replaced with something other than dogma.
