This five-volume encyclopedia provides important insights into the history, usage trends, and effects of a variety of drugs and controlled substances.  This useful reference provides a wealth of information for those wishing to know more about commonly used and abused drugs.  While designed with middle school students in mind, it would make [a] nice addition to most high school, college, and public libraries.  --ARBA, March 2007
