…offers a sensible introduction by Joshua Borus,
physician and instructor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical
School, suggesting that young people plan their response
to drug offers ahead of time, arming themselves with
information about use and abuse.
· Each title introduces a class of drugs, describes their effects
on young human bodies and brains, and offers specific
examples. The authors go on to explain why these drugs
are addictive, why they might be abused, how readers can
recognize abuse, and each drug’s legal status. Finally, they
cover what happens when the drugs and alcohol are used
together and other particular questions.
