I bought this book for a college class. I found it remarkably biased. Not to mention it quotes, I believe Anslinger, as saying marijuana is akin the monster Frankenstein. As any literate, well-read person would know Victor Frankenstein is the scientist who creates the beast, not the name of the monster. Which I suppose is a problem more with Anslinger's ignorance than the books, but I'm sure there's an abundance of examples of those too. IE: it sites Wikipedia. Nuff said? I would instead refer prospective buyers to the Psychedelic Encyclopedia by Peter Stafford.

This book was a requirement for a drug and alcohol course I was taking. It's very thorough, but I often felt that it was a little chatty. It provides a good history of substance use. It is a fairly quick read and has relevant illustrations. The CD is a great resource.

This is a really good book. very useful with all the new drugs and the effects of them. Also has pictures of the damage that can be done. Worth the money.

Excellent transaction. Book is very interesting. Especially about the history of drugs and alcohol and how far back in the past they can tell they were used and how.
