Barbituates: Sleeping Potions or Intoxicants? (Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Drugs. Series 1)

Rating:
Summary: Great for teens good for adults
Review: The reading level allows an adult like me to read this book in a day or two. It inlcudes the typical information one would find in an adult book. Namely that these drugs were causing deaths in the 60's and 70's until they were then prescribed by the doctors with more care. The problems these pills solve are real enough and one gets a good look at the problems. The chemistry of the pills is also explored and could make a good book for a bio-chemistry student to get going on applications. Also investors in bio-tech might benefit from reading books like these as a first step to understanding the business.
