5.0 out of 5 starsI bought this book because it is a requirement for ...
By bing on December 7, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I bought this book because it is a requirement for the course I'm taking. This is definitely necessary for anyone taking a substance abuse courses or rehabilitation counseling. This book gives an insight on the pros and cons on certain issues with regards to substance abuse/dependence or behavioral issues.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Debates for the Liberal at Heart
By Max the Doxie on May 28, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
While of course in all things drug policy the Republicans have had their chance to fight the "War on Drugs" and lost on every front. These arguments put statistics and studies with common sense if you have it and preach tolerance, parenting, possible college classes in order to get your license to drink (my great idea) after the age of 18 since on coillege campuses and off they are binge drinking and playing other irresponsible drinking games that could get them killed. Why not force them through a semester of facts and figures, horrific pictures of puking and strapped to a gurney and collisions with peoples's head's cut off. It happens. Don't sugar coat it. Make it an enjoyable class not like the drunk driving class for DUI's. I am sure their are professors eager to put together these types of programs for college campuses instead of finding dead co-eds from alcohol poisoning.

Great talks about the rationales of drug policies of other countries and how they do not increase drug use by decriminalizing or even legalizing soft drugs. Overall, it has great debates although the liberal view always makes the most sense when compared to the global world we live in.

I must read for psych, sociology, criminology, and other social science majors to put what we have been taught by TV, government into perspective. GREAT BOOK. A+

1.0 out of 5 starsTaking Sides: Too Bad We Can't Post Zero Stars
By Bookworm on May 11, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book was required reading for a class or I would have tossed it in the trash much sooner. Pure drivel. Not current, poorly written, & "discussions" used as a time-killer in class by less mature students. My consolation here was receiving an A in the course.

Sure, I'd like to get some cash back from reselling it, but I'd be happier if I could convince professors everywhere to quit wasting valuable classroom time with this garbage. Much better works are available.

1.0 out of 5 starsAs a drug counselor this book is terrible
By SmokeyNYY on January 20, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Very biased book that I was forced to buy for one of my classes. If you have to buy it I feel bad because this author should not get any money for this book. If you aren't forced to buy this then please don't.

I had to buy this for a class at USD. I only opened it twice during the semester and still made an "A" in the class.
