Buzzed

The fourth edition of Buzzed, the essential resource for anyone wanting to know about drugs, is now revised with the most recent discoveries about drugs. Buzzed includes new information about biological and behavioral changes in addiction, the prescription-drug abuse epidemic, distinctive drug effects on the adolescent brain, and trends from synthetic cannabinoids to e-cigarettes. In both quick-reference summaries and in-depth analysis, it reports on how these drugs enter the body, how they manipulate the brain, their short-term and long-term effects, the different “highs” they produce, and the circumstances under which they can be deadly.
