Summary

Drugs are everywhere--on our streets, in our homes, and in our schools--but straight facts about drugs are not. Drugs: The Straight Facts fills this void with candid discussions that emphasize a historical and scientific approach to learning about drugs, their use, and their effect on the user's health. Explore the history of marijuana throughout the ages, the neurochemical pathway of the psychoactive component of marijuana, and current trends and attitudes toward its use.

Excerpts

Marijuana covers hemp and cannabis cultivation and use, and explores the current trends and attitudes toward the drug in the United States. The book explains the neurochemical pathway of the psychoactive components of marijuana—from inhalation or ingestion to the effects on the user. This title is a part of the Drugs: The Straight Facts series, which looks to provide straightforward information on some of the most widely abused substances.
