We began writing the first edition of this text in the late 1980s. At that time, drug use and related problems were of major interest and concern in the United States and in other countries. Awareness, interest, and concern about drug use have not abated since that time, nor has the need for a general undergraduate text to educate college students on the biological, psychological, and social factors that influence drug use and its effects. Therefore, we have completed this seventh edition, which retains many features of previous editions but also reflects changes that have occurred in this very dynamic area of study since the sixth edition was published in 2011.
As in all of the text’s previous editions, the central theme of this edition is that a drug’s effects are determined not only by its chemical structure and interaction in the body but also by drug users’ biological and psychological characteristics and the setting in which they use the drug. This central theme is reflected in the inclusion of chapters on pharmacology and psychopharmacology, and is continued throughout the presentation of individual drugs or drug classes and in the discussion of prevention and treatment. The text examines the complexity of human drug consumption on biological, psychological, and social levels. Although the text is scholarly, it is understandable to students with little background in the biological, behavioral, or social sciences.
As mentioned earlier, drugs and drug use are popular and dynamic areas of study. For example, when the sixth edition was published in 2011, synthetic designer drugs like “Spice” and “bath salts” had not yet emerged as international phenomena. These designer drugs are sold on the Internet, often legally. The seventh edition chronicles the impact of this drug trade, with a focus on the legal changes in the United States designed to address the problem (Synthetic Drug Abuse Prevention Act of 2012, Chapter 2) and reviews of the major drugs involved: synthetic cathinones or bath salts (Chapter 6), synthetic cannabinoids or Spice (Chapter 11), and phenethylamine hallucinogens (2C-B, Chapter 12).
