Its called Buzzed. Extremely informative pub about some of the most popular drugs. My GF checked it out from the library and I hi-jacked it almost immediately. It goes into great detail on the history, toxicity, side effects, related substances, how it wors like how you get the buzz, how it effects your body after prolonged use blah blah blah....Hell after two days ive already gotten to page 200, but not saying I read every goddamn one. Something IMHO to definately check out one day

Thanks for the heads up, Pill. I know that you were worried that your GF would leave but she's obviously still there so I hope that is some relief for you.

Thats going to be the most stolen book in the history of all libraries LOL!
Theres a book that the pharmacists have called a CPS. Someone told me about it. Thats supposed to have the info about all the drugs and interactions. If you can't find that buzzed book at the library you can try that one.

Dude, that book is my bible. Well not quite but it's good. So well written and unbiassed. I got it about 9 years ago, read it thoroughly and referred to it many times since. I re-read it when I started trying opiates to get a better understanding of addictoin (which it covers very nicely). Awesome book.

His nickname is Dr. Exstasy, as he allegedly invented the drug.

Is it like a MIMS? I have actually read a MIMS when I was totally obsessed with drugs in general.

Ya i can back you up on that, man. My GF checked it out as well a while ago and its one of the coolest books ive read on drugs. extremly informative.

Im currently waiting for another book called "40 days and nights: Darwin, Intellegent Design, God, OxyContin, and other oddities on Trail in Pennsylvannia"


If anyone has read or heard of it id like to know if it was any good.

Buzzed (http://www.thatspoppycock.com/books/buzzed.htm) is truly a great book. It caters to people of both a novice, and advanced knowledge of drugs. The history of each drug is very interesting, and unique. Buzzed (http://www.thatspoppycock.com/books/buzzed.htm) also talks about the effects of herbal supplements, and the new craze, "smart" drugs. Some of the information on my opioid/opioid addiction website is straight from this book. I actually made a page on my website dedicated to this book not too long ago, just click on the word "Buzzed" to get there. It's well-deserving of its own page considering the wealth of information contained within its 320 pages.
