Very informative on the Neurophysical aspect of drug use, however is not written for the lay person. The reader does need a decent understanding of neurophysiology and pharmacology before reading this book to fully understand the reactions involved.

Whew, read this chunk of a textbook for my Neuropharmacology class, and have to add it to my READ list.
