This title was first published in 2000: A study of drugs - the
different kinds of drugs, the reasons why people take drugs, the
ways in which people have used drugs, and some of the difficulties
to which drug-taking can lead. The various hazards of use discussed
include the physical and psychological health of users, the social
penalties incurred by use of abuse, and the risk of dependence. In
addition, the effects of drugs may be directly linked to the drug
effect or indirectly related to behavioural patterns of use or to
social consequences of use. The book is also about the ordinariness
of drug taking. Where drugs are presented as though they were
something alien and unusually dangerous, it tries to put
drug-taking in a more balanced perspective, showing that even those
who drink tea or coffee are drug takers. There are updated
definitions of the main terms used within the fields of drugs and
alcohol.
