User: The Truth about Drugs, What They Do, How They Feel, and Why People Take Them

by Aidan Macfarlane

Whether you agree with drug use or are horrified by it, you cannot ignore it. Whether you are a user or not, you need to know the truth about drugs: why people take them, what they are like, how it feels, what can go wrong, and what happens if you are caught. The interviews in this book let young people speak for themselves. Users, parents, dealers, counsellors, and the police, these voices from the drug scene tell the story as it really is - shocking, amusing, moving, compelling. Each interview is followed by a section of clear factual information about the particular drugs and issues raised.
