This review is from: The Little Box of Drugs: Unbiased and Unadulterated Commentary on the Drugs Debate (Paperback)

i think this book left out a lot of the more interesting side of drugs and focused too much on economy and health effects. i woulda liked to hear more about trips/experiences and culture of drugs instead of deep info on how they are produced and how they affect economy and stuff. i think for this book to be in the genre of "pop culture" it should really focus more on the cultural and mental experience of a varied group of users instead of the hard numbers.
