Synopsis

Hallucinogenic drugs such as LSD, Peyote, Magic Mushrooms, and Ecstasy were the psychedelic drugs of choice during the 1960s. Although they all remain illicit drugs today, the controversy over their legalization remains alive among respected medical researchers as well as members of the new Rave culture. (20020601)

Review:

"These titles in the Drug Education Library offer a detailed, well-sourced portrait of the medical, legal, historical, and societal aspects of the drug use in America. The texts, supported by helpful source notes and a bibliography, are clearly organized and have a slightly academic tone that makes them most useful for debaters and report writers."
-- Booklist (June 2002) (Booklist 20020901)

"These titles (Hallucinogens / Marijuana) in the Drug Education Library offer a detailed, well-sourced portrait of the medical, legal, historical, and societal aspects of drug use in America...Both books spend considerable time documenting the debate over drug legalization, including some suprising medical evidence that challenges current policy. The texts, supported by helpful source notes and a bibliography are clearly organized and have a slightly academic tone that makes them most useful for debaters and report writers."
--Booklist (June 2002) (Booklist 20020601)

"These two small volumes are replete with information for the average middle or high school student looking for an overview. Reluctant readers will appreciate the short, highly readable chapters, subdivided by bold face type and peppered with photos and sidebars, but the series is not too basic to appeal to average and advanced readers. Recommended."
-- Book Report (September 2002) (Book Report )

"This intelligently written, objective title provides students with detailed information...Average-quality, black-and-white photos, reproductions, and charts accompany the text; diagrams explain how the drugs work in the brain...This well-documented title offers more information than Ann Ricki Huwitz and Sue Hurwitz's Hallucinogens (Rosen, 1999) and Jane Ellen Phillips's LSD, PCP,and Other Hallucinogen's (Chelsea, 1999)."
