Review:
The Encyclopedia of Addictive Drugs
This is the best review of todays problem drugs. The Encyclopedia is much better than the deceptive and misleading presentation of drugs by the Bush administration. If the truth will set you free, The Encyclopedia of Addictive Drugs is well on its way to the truth. A book to help with the facts. Punitive dialogues of todays official positions need to be replaced with something other than dogma.
