Drug Use and Abuse, Enhanced First Edition 2020 Original pdf

Drug Use and Abuse takes an interdisciplinary approach in its coverage of current drug issues and has been revised to include updated statistics, research, and legislation in this new enhanced first Canadian edition. Replete with Canadian examples, it weaves psychological, historical, cultural, social, biological, and medical perspectives ― emphasizing the idea that a drug’s effects depend not only on its properties but also on the biological and psychological characteristics of its user. This theme is highlighted throughout and is prominent in discussions of the individual classes of drugs, as well as in the chapters on pharmacology and psychopharmacology. With updated content on opioids, cannabis, e-cigarettes, caffeine, and more, this is a comprehensive look at drug use and abuse in Canada.
