Drugs, Behaviour, and Modern Society, Canadian Edition, 2nd edition

In today's world, drugs and their use have the potential for good and for bad. As a society and as individuals, we can be the beneficiaries of drugs - or their victims. This perspective is the message of Drugs, Behaviour, and Modern Society. This text introduces the basic facts and major issues concerning drug-taking behaviour in a straightforward, comprehensive, and reader-friendly manner. A background in biology, sociology, psychology, or chemistry is not necessary. The only requirement is a sense of curiosity about the range of chemical substances that affect our minds and our bodies and an interest in the challenges these substances bring to our society and our daily lives.
