A must have for clinicians

This is absolutely necessary for anyone who works in clinical or research settings regarding drugs of abuse. The biological explanations of drug action are written for entry level understanding of neuroscience; indeed, the entire text is very accessible and friendly. Some of the groupings of the drugs seem strange (e.g., including ketamine with the club drugs), but this is bound to happen-the drugs abused today are difficult to classify sometimes! A great read-a true must have.
