Outdated edition - The seller needs to list the edition he/she is selling This is a very out dated edition that was sold to me. The seller did not sent any return information like the other agencies did.

An excellent, rational, introductory text - An excellent general overview, covering drug use and regulation, pharmacological basics, in-depth analyses of the legal drugs, tranquilizers and stimulants, narcotics, hallucinogens, and marijuana, and comments on "a rational look at drug use." Well-documented with an abundance of relevant quotes and statistics; a rich set of references follow each chapter.
