This comprehensive book about depressants touches upon the history of barbiturates and the medicinal and recreational uses of each type. Warnings about intoxication from depressants are offered adjacent to descriptions of troubled teens who have tampered with depressants and experienced disastrous results. Common depressants are identified by both brand and street names with descriptions of complications such as the addiction to and withdrawal from the ingestion of each type. Teenagers are also warned about the dangers of taking multiple drugs, including the often-deadly combination of depressants and alcohol.
