Description
Praise

"A book of sound value, well and cautiously written, full of insights about activities that many decent people normally do not openly discuss—but which millions of them happily participate in. Norman Zinberg has provided us with a candid report by a pioneer from a largely unknown frontier: the reality of drug use in some of its most common features. By concentrating on the human dimensions of controlled use, he has etched in remarkably revealing detail the broad spectrum of use within which abuse may be better understood and more accurately defined."—Arnold S. Trebach, J.D., Ph.D., Director, Institute of Drugs, Crime and Justice, Professor, American University

"Zinberg has made an important contribution to the understanding of drug use by exploding myths with fact."—Howard S. Becker, MacArthur Professor of Arts and Sciences, Northwestern University
