Buzzed: The Straight Facts About the Most Used and Abused Drugs From Alcohol to Ecstasy
1998
Based on the most current psychological and pharmacological research (little of which has been easily accessible to the general public), Buzzed provides a reliable, unbiased look at the use and abuse of legal and illegal drugs. Neither a "Just Say No" treatise nor a "How To" manual, Buzzed is based on the conviction that people make healthier decisions when they "Just Say Know": when they understand in straightforward language how our complex brains really work, and why even small doses of various substances can have such powerful (and sometimes life-threatening) effects. Buzzed cuts through a vast amount of misinformation and propaganda to tell the truth about drugs - from alcohol, caffeine, and anti-anxiety pills to heroin, ecstasy, and special-K.
