Drugs & Consequences: Set 1
This series overcomes the perennial glamorization of drug use in popular culture by laying out the disturbing, disgusting, and deadly end results of drug use, abuse, and addiction in the starkest of terms. Tackling the drugs most commonly abused by teens--methamphetamines and crystal meth, cocaine, marijuana, prescription drugs, ecstasy, and heroin--the powerful details about what these drugs can do to the body, mind, spirit, and family cannot be denied. If the teen years are often characterized by a sense of immortality and invulnerability, these books seek to disabuse readers of such fallacies and instead reveal to them a far more truthful way forward--towards life, health living, and the future.

Series Review: Drugs
and Consequences
"The series covers
the use of drugs, the impact of drugs, and the history of drug use. What makes
the books unique is their writing style; the material is presented in such a way
that students do not feel "talked down to" yet do not miss important facts and
data. ... These books are useful for research papers and debates or speeches, as
well as to use with students who are facing or know others facing drug
addiction. "
