Just perusing the table of contents in “Buzzed” is a sharp reminder of the huge role drugs play in American culture.

Twelve hefty chapters present the pharmacopeia in nonjudgmental alphabetical order — alcohol, caffeine, ecstasy, hallucinogens, herbal drugs, inhalants, marijuana, nicotine, opiates, sedatives, steroids, stimulants — each followed by a lively list of slang and street names (many familiar and probably getting out of date even as you read).

The authors, all professors at Duke University, first published this compendium in 1998, and early editions had the Nancy Reagan-inspired pun “just say know” on the cover.

After skimming a few pages of the amazon preview, it seems less than professional but probably better than nothing. I think the authors would have benifitted from reading some of Bluelight's sticky threads.

I've always thought someone should take all the information on bluelight and compress it into a book format, or even a separate website without the forum aspect, just a page for each drug describing effects, interactions, ROA's, etc.
