Reviews

'The book is written with insight and humour. It provides an informative platform for any future debate about heroin and how we can move away from the current impasse.' - John Witton, Drug Link 'This fascinating account should be read by anyone who wants to stay informed on the drugs debate.' - New Statesman 'If you read no other book on drug misuse, read this one ... this is an intelligent book that requires intelligent reading ... at the very least you will be well informed but at most you will be greatly entertained.' - British Journal of General Practice 'This level-headed, informative and witty book ... should be read by every politician, parent and physician.' - The Economist
