Purchase options and add-ons

Fully revised and updated, this no-nonsense handbook includes the most recent discoveries about drugs, including new information on the energy-drinks craze, prescription drugs such as OxyContin and Ambien, the date-rape drug GHB, and the unique effects of some drugs on the adolescent brain. Scientifically accurate and easy to read, ?Buzzed? gives the most balanced, objective information available on the most often used and abused drugs, from alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine to heroin, Ecstasy, and methamphetamine, and it provides a clear understanding of how drugs work and the consequences of their use. Neither a "Just Say No" treatise nor a "How to" manual, ?Buzzed? is based on the conviction that people make better decisions and accurate information at hand.

Product description

Review

"

Students need clear, detailed, comprehensive factual information in order to make smart decisions, and ?Buzzed ?provides it all in an easy-to-understand format. What a great resource!

" -- Ellen Gold, chair of the Alcohol, Tobacco & Other Drug Task Force, American College Health Association

"

There is no talking down or trying to be hip in this guide to recreational drugs. A sound, thorough, authoritative resource that, though aimed primarily at college students, will be a solid asset in every public library.

I have been counseling for 13 years and spent a lot of that time in the addiction field. I heartily recommend this book for anyone in the field or a layman trying to understand addictions. It's the best book out there. It is down to earth. No psych speak, just everyday language. It contains wonderful content and have used this to teach addicts about addiction. It covers all the common drugs. It also has a section on how the brain works, how the addiction process works. It is a very complete book. If there is a down side, they don't cover the most recent drugs, like K2. I'm sure that will be covered in the next edition. If you are looking to buy one book this year, this is the one to buy.

I bought this book for my brother who is currently spending some time in jail for drug related issues. He and the other inmates found the information in this book eye opening. I have not read this book but couldn't be happier that I made this purchase. He shared with me some of his new found insights like how pathetic he felt when all it took was reading about his drug of choice adderall to send him craving it. He knew he was an addict but he didn't understand the hold that the drug had on him until his reaction.

4.0 out of 5 stars very good book to inform not just users but the public at large and anyone who is considering drug use

I bought this book for my son who just turned thirteen.
I personally know quite a bit about the drug scene from my
younger days and I want my children to be better informed
about drugs and this book seems to give good information about a wide
variety of drugs that I can use to educate my children.Telling your kids that
drugs are bad is probably worse than saying nothing at all.Kids are curious
and drugs are amazing molecules that can change your entire perception of
the world and the way you think.But if you only tell your kids that drugs make
you feel bad or that they can kill you,your telling them a half truth and their not
going to be fooled by it.Speak the whole truth to your children and they are more
likely going to make informed wise decisions.
