About this ebook

The essential guide to how drugs affect the body and behavior.

This fully updated, no–judgment book includes the up–to–the–moment discoveries about drugs and drug use, including new information on the opioid crisis, vaping, psychedelic therapy, cannabinoids, and the science of addiction. “Lively, highly informative, unbiased, [and] thorough” (Addiction Research & Theory), Buzzed surveys drugs from caffeine to ketamine to reveal how they impact the body, the different effects they produce, and the circumstances in which they can be deadly.
