Humans have been using psychoactive [mind-altering] drugs since ancient times. Barely a day goes by without a drug-related issue reaching the headlines, and drugs, in some way or another, affect all of our lives, whether by our own use, the use of those we know, or even from just being a victim of drug-related crime.

This book provides an accessible and lucid introduction to some of the main health and social issues related to illicit drugs and their use. It reviews a range of popular drugs---including amphetamines, cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy [MDMA], heroin, and LSD---whilst considering the law related to such substances. Written in a straight-forward and approachable style, it dispels some of the many myths that exist about drug use, offering an authoritative and balanced perspective on issues of personal, local, national, and international importance.

Drug Nation will be essential reading for anyone who wants to be informed about the drug situation today, offering a sensible and non-sensational account of drugs and drug taking.
