Real AND Realistic Information

I found this book to provide information with much clarity and in language that the real world can relate to, rather than the usual propoganda and scare tactics utilized to "keep people from indulging." The author is clearly aware that even if the entire world supply of any type of "recreational drug"were completely erradicated(and it never will be) there will ALWAYS be a demand - people have always "self-medicated" and there are no amount of laws/restrictions that will ever stop their desire to do so. That can only come from the person from within to decide to refrain from partaking in items that are not good for them. It's unfortunate that such information as provided in this book is so hard to find, as I truly think if more people had access to this objective and REAL information, it would be revolutionary in that people would in fact make the right decisions for their lifestyle, rather than "learning the hard way"(i.e., billions of people in prison, etc.)-which doesn't work anyway - that route only destroys otherwise productive lives and it certainly is not condusive to "rehabilitating" any body.
