Basic Approach

Written by a leading researcher and textbook author in the field of alcohol and drug studies, this text presents a series of perspectives and reflections on the worlds of drug-taking, drug-seeking and public policy.

This highly readable book takes a candid look at the world of drug and alcohol use, abuse, and control. The text presents many sides of major issues, the history and patterns of abuse, and coverage of the major drugs (heroin, cocaine, crack, prescription drugs, marijuana, amphetamines, hallucinogens, and club drugs). The War on Drugs IV is an excellent resource that can be used as a main text or as a supplement. It serves as a basis for discussion and debate on topics such as legalization of drugs, medical marijuana, needle exchange, harm reduction, and supply reduction strategies versus demand reduction strategies.

The book was in great shape, it was exactly the way the owner had portrayed it. The book in general is not one I would pick to read on drugs, but I have to have it for class.

This book holds a lot of really good information; however, it tends to run on & jump all over the placed. Again, focus is clarity.
