Drugs: Science, Addiction, Crime, and Trade offers a comprehensive and evidence-based examination of drugs from every critical angle.This book begins by explaining what drugs are, how they are classified, and how they interact with the human body and brain. It explores the chemistry behind substances, their routes of administration, and the neurological mechanisms that lead to tolerance, dependence, and addiction. Beyond biology, it examines the psychological and psychiatric consequences of drug use, including anxiety, psychosis, dual diagnosis, and long-term mental health outcomes.Moving beyond the individual, the book investigates the social, economic, and criminal dimensions of drugs.
