This comprehensive text on the pharmacological, medical, and legal
aspects of drug abuse has been thoroughly updated for the Fourth
Edition, and a new chapter on club drugs added. The chapter on
medical effects was completely rewritten to focus on infections
that develop in i.v. drug abusers, and information on the
international regulation of drug use was added to the chapter on
drug abuse and the law. The book is written at a level appropriate
for upper level undergraduate students, graduate or medical
students, and drug counselors. All major drugs of abuse are
covered: tobacco, opioids, central stimulants (including cocaine,
amphetamine, and caffeine), alcohol and other sedatives, marijuana,
club drugs (MDMA, GHB, and ketamine), hallucinogens, and volatile
solvents. For each type the authors discuss history and culture,
the characteristic patterns of use, subjective and physiological
effects, mechanisms of pharmacological action, and toxic effects.
Epidemiological aspects are discussed as well as pharmacological
treatment possibilities where applicable.
