Summary: Everyone should read this book
Comment: Even though this book is nearly 30 years old, everything it says about the drug problem is still relevant today.

This publication outlined a clear-cut set of recommendations that if adhered to, today's drug problems would have become a long forgotten memory.

This book is a must for the collection.

Summary: Why isn't this in every DARE room in America?
Comment: I went through alot of 'Drug Education'. I thought I knew something. I didn't. I learned more in one night from this book than I did in 18 years of being a youth in the Drug War. Read this cover to cover and now try to get everyone I know to read it.

Summary: The Best Book on Drugs, Hands down
Comment: This is, without a doubt, the best, most comprehensive, objective book on drugs I have ever seen, & I've seen lots. It covers the history of social, political, & scientific developments in its entirety, up to the early seventies. It isn't dated at all, since almost all the trends from the past are still present today. As with all Consumers Union Reports, it draws from an enormous wealth of information (the notes to the book are forty pages alone), & while it's certainly a scholarly book, it is completely readable to the common layman. I absolutely feel this book should be required reading, not just for lawmakers & workers in drug-counselling or -prevention fields, but also for teachers in the education system & even students. At a time in America when 19 billion dollars is spent each year on drug prevention, yet it's estimated that there are 80 million drug users (not to mention half the high school population at least trying drugs), this is necessary reading. If you've ever seen any books on drugs, you know how biased most of them can be, & how rampant misinformation is. This book is simply the best, most informative path you can travel for the truth about drugs. The fact that it's out of print is just disgraceful, but don't let that stop you from reading it - do a booksearch, or check the auctions or zShops since it comes up occasionally. & let me just add, look at the other reviews for this book: everybody agrees it's the best, everybody gave it 5 stars, & it isn't even in print anymore! Obviously, this is an important book, & one you should see.
