This text is one of the best on the market when it comes to covering such a diverse topic in a condensed and easily understandable fashion. The authors are great at not “rambling on” about topics. Additionally, the tables, figures, and pictures truly enhance the text rather than just being filler material. Finally, the organization of the text goes well with the way in which I teach my course.

-Jeanne Freeman, California State University, Chico

I like the text organization, summary and key points at the end of each chapter, explanation of each aspects of drug use, pharmacology, social phenomenon, and all aspects of drug abuse.  [This text is] very informative and very practical for students not just to learn for class but for their personal lives.
