Customer Reviews

Gave me a better understanding.

While reading this book, one of the most enjoyable characteristics was the format of the book. I loved how it was back to back clashing articles on the same subject. For example, the two articles, "The D.A.R.E. Program Is Effective" and "The D.A.R.E. Program Has Been Ineffective." Those two were my favorites. Both had valid points and alot of refrences to back them up. After reading this book, I have gained understanding of many drug related issues and now have studies and quotes to back up whatever I may be arguing. Definately a good read for anyone who would like to become better informed on the drug war.
