From the Author
"Nice kids" seldom get high or die from street drugs but from meds in the medicine cabinet at home. Researching this book was eye-opening, and so is reading it or, better, giving it to teens and teachers.
From the Inside Flap
Understanding Drugs provides a fact-based look at many of drugs that teens encounter, explains how they work, and identifies the risks and benefits of using them. Each title spotlights a drug of abuse or a treatment drug. Written in straightforward language, the books break down the biological and chemical processes relevant to each drug, explains the history of the drug, discusses the risks of using or abusing it, and guides readers toward reliable help for dealing with a drug-related problem. The Understanding Drugs series provides concise guides for high school students to the science, history, social issues, and health issues connected to common legal and illegal drugs.
This series is appropriate for high school students, health teachers, and counselors.
Dramatic "you-are-there" case studies help show how drugs impact on real life, and sidebars offer supplementary facts, compelling statistics, and historical information.
