Exactly what I was looking for. If you are interested in extremely indepth scientific information through years of compounded studies on drug use, all cataloged into an easy to use handbook look no further.
When I got this it was because I was looking for specific information and I found it here.
Recommended for medical students interested in the area of drug abuse.
