About the Book: Book is written in stead of the idiotic slogans like “Just Say No” and “This is your brain on drugs“, that provides no information, and is blatantly ineffective scare tactic that leads to mistrust among the groups of people that should otherwise rely on one another. Without sugarcoating the book provides a list of addictive substances that can and are classified as drugs, why are they drugs, how they’re used, where, how it became “a thing“. Alongside what are the withdrawals like, what are the lasting effects, irreversable ones, what are other dangers, and all the simple science behind it all. Whether then it’s still worth it or not is left fully in the hands of the reader, without any judgement, and, rather, guiding to possible precautions, safety measures that can be taken to avoid even the simplest of these becoming a life-altering negative experience.
My Opinion: A people-friendly book, easy to read, highly informative, would need a slight update already, but if there’s none by the time you’re picking it up – it remains a fine read. It doesn’t talk down, instead providing information to stay safe, and hopefully even help reconsider, or consider quitting, rehab.
