Description
Buzzed is now revised and updated with the most recent discoveries about drugs. It includes new information about biological and behavioral changes in addiction, the prescription-drug abuse epidemic, distinctive drug effects on the adolescent brain, and trends from synthetic cannabinoids to e-cigarettes. This handbook surveys the most used and abused drugs from caffeine to heroin to methamphetamine. In both quick-reference summaries and in-depth analysis, it reports on how these drugs enter the body, how they manipulate the brain, their short-term and long-term effects, the different "highs" they produce, and the circumstances in which they can be deadly.

Just Say Know is the tag line on this book. This book is a great source of objective information. I use information in this book when in counselling sessions with addicts who said they never knew the drugs had those effects. Now they have more reason to get clean. It's a must read for anyone who

I’m not sure why I never marked this as read. Just came across it on my to-read list. I definitely read it. In October? I think? Very informative and easy to understand.
