Certainly worth buying if you're into drugs

This book explains everything you need to know about Barbiturates. It's a detailed explanation about how these drugs were discovered, what they were used for and how people abused them. I highly recommend to anyone interested in pharmaceuticals.
Great for teens good for adults
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The reading level allows an adult like me to read this book in a day or two. It inlcudes the typical information one would find in an adult book. Namely that these drugs were causing deaths in the 60's and 70's until they were then prescribed by the doctors with more care. The problems these pills solve are real enough and one gets a good look at the problems. The chemistry of the pills is also explored and could make a good book for a bio-chemistry student to get going on applications. Also investors in bio-tech might benefit from reading books like these as a first step to understanding the business.
