Customer Reviews

Nice trivia compendium

This book was an interesting collection of tidbits, anecdotes, and quotes all relating to drugs. It includes trivia about all types of abused drugs, notable famous users of drugs, effects on animals and people, drugs in pop culture media, and history/development of drugs. Overall a very whimsical collection of trivia. Weighing in at only 166 pages of somewhat sparse text and sketches makes it lose a star.
