Critics Review
“A unique, up-to-date, and useful source for all those interested in the workings of and effects of legal and illegal drugs, regardless of whether you are a concerned mother or Irvine Welsh!” – The British Psychological Society
“Buzzed is one of the most important books I’ve ever read… So comprehensive and so readable that I recommend everybody who’s interested in this area—kids who are taking drugs, parents, professionals… and, most of all, politicians and legislators—to read it.” – Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting
“Well written and easy to read. [Buzzed] could be used as a resource to be consulted, dipped into simply for interest’s sake, or read from cover to cover… If you are looking for an up-to-date, accessible source of information regarding drugs of abuse, this book would be a good starting point.” – The Ulster Medical Journal
