Revised to keep pace with the latest data and statistics, Drugs and Society, Thirteenth Edition, continues to captivate students by taking a multidisciplinary approach to the impact of drug use and abuse on the lives of average individuals. The authors have integrated their expertise in the fields of drug abuse, pharmacology, and sociology with their extensive experiences in research, treatment, drug policy making, and drug policy implementation to create an edition that speaks directly to students on the medical, emotional, and social damage drug use can cause.

Drugs and Society, Thirteenth Edition is written on a personal level and directly addresses college students by incorporating individual drug use and abuse experiences as well as personal and institutional perspectives. Students will find these personal accounts both insightful and interesting.

What’s New & Improved?

  • Addresses current topics such as steroid abuse in baseball, OxyContin, restrictions on pain pills, marijuana legalization, heroin potency, designer drugs, synthetic drugs (spice and K2), and marijuana wax.
  • Includes the most recent information on developments in states which have or intend to legalize recreational and medical marijuana use, as well as coverage on the distinction of the two major types of marijuana.
  • Covers data and major drug use findings of drug abuse across all age groups, from middle school, adolescent, and young adult, to middle-aged and senior citizens.

Key Features:

  • Holding the Line sections include vignettes that help readers assess governmental efforts to deal with drug-related problems.
  • Case in Point sections provide examples of relevant clinical and/or social issues that arise from the use of each major group of drugs.
  • Here and Now sections include current events that illustrate the personal and social consequences of drug abuse.
  • Family Matters boxes show examples of how genetics and heredity contribute to drug abuse and its issues.

Drugs and Society, Thirteenth Edition is designed to engage students directly, making complex issues accessible through a blend of academic insight and personal narratives.
