ITEM OVERVIEW
This scientifically accurate and easy to read handbook gives the most balanced, objective information available on the most often used and abused drugs, from alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine to heroin, ecstasy, and Special K. 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 and long term effects, the kind of "high" they produce, and the circumstances in which they can be deadly. Neither a just-say-no treatise nor a how-to manual, Buzzed is based on the conviction that people make healthier decisions when they understand in straightforward language how our complex brains really work and why even small doses of various substances can have such powerful effects.
