Description

Recreational drug use affects people worldwide. Despite efforts to curb it, public fascination with drugs persists. This book offers a balanced and honest account of global drug use, grounded in scientific fact rather than dogma. It examines the effects and side effects of various drugs used globally, exploring why people use them, how they become addicted, and what lessons can be learned from making drugs illegal. The third edition has been updated to reflect recent scientific, epidemiological, and political developments, including a new section on US drug policy from high-profile contributors. A rational approach to the problem of drug use is provided in this book, offering insights into the complex issue of recreational drug use.
