Drugs, Behaviour, And Society (Canadian Edition)

Drugs, Behaviour, And Society (Canadian Edition), 3rd Edition, is a textbook that examines how drugs influence human behaviour and Canadian society. It combines behavioural, pharmacological, historical, social, legal, and clinical viewpoints to assess drug use and its related social conflicts.

Coverage outlines foundational concepts, including nervous system mechanisms, drug policy, and the role of substances in modern life. The volume reviews familiar items such as alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine alongside restricted compounds, psychotherapeutic medications, and natural health products.

Designed for students studying substance use, the text incorporates statistical data to explore the impact of drugs while presenting practical approaches to substance abuse prevention and treatment options for substance-related disorders.
