I would say that as a textbook, this is a well-written book. It has lots of statistics, and diagrams which make easy to understand the certain topic. I watched many drug movies like Ozark, Breaking Bad, and this book helped me understand what opium, cocaine, meth, and all the other stuff.

Love the huge joint on the cover. This is actually a pretty good textbook. It's got kind of a cheesy scholastic vibe to it though (see cover). The photos, illustrations and layout make it interesting to look through. It explains things pretty well, and loves to give you tons of statistics.
