Synopsis

The essential source for understanding how drugs affect the body and behavior. Fully updated, this matter-of-fact audio handbook includes the most recent discoveries about drug use, including new information on electronic smoking devices, abuse of prescription stimulants, and the opioid crisis. “Lively, highly informative, unbiased, [and] thorough” (Addiction Research & Theory), Buzzed surveys drugs from caffeine to heroin to reveal how these drugs affect the body, the different “highs” they produce, and the circumstances in which they can be deadly. Neither a “just say no” treatise nor a “how to” manual, Buzzed is based on the conviction that people make better decisions with accurate information at hand. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. ©2019 Cynthia Kuhn, Scott Swartzwelder, and Wilkie Wilson.

Goodreads review by Erik

This book, as I recall, originated as an information guide for university students. Credibility being an issue, it was written and edited by a combination of medical, psychopharmacological, and psychiatric experts assisted by representative students.

Goodreads review by Nathan

Buzzed is a pretty remarkable book. Designed to cut the BS out of propaganda for and against drug use, Buzzed is essentially a reference book for all psycho-active substances, legal or illegal, from caffeine to nicotine to ecstasy.
