A no-nonsense, scientific presentation of the facts of the United State's most used and abused drugs. These include heroin, caffeine, cocaine, and melatonin, to name a few. Frankly, a lot went over my head, given the in-depth scientific nature of the commentary. However, I found the brief takeaways incredibly crucial for each drug. I also found the more detailed discussion fascinating for the drugs I found more interesting. The authors' aimed to circumvent the dark web misinformed discussions around drugs by providing hard science for the interested bystander and the hardened addict. While trying to read all at once, I'd recommend checking out Buzzed for anyone partaking in popular substances. If anything, it'll serve as a reference for later times.
