This new series delivers its message in a dramatic and effective way: by telling -- and showing -- readers the harsh realities of the physical effects of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. Using graphic medical photos and clear, vivid text, this unique series is a hard-hitting and fascinating weapon in the war against teen drug abuse. Hallucinogenic drug use is on the rise among teens, and more youth are at risk than ever before. Hallucinogens and Your Neurons documents the terrible physical devastation that drugs such as ecstasy and LSD have on the bodies of users. Lowered serotonin levels, brain damage, and liver failure are just a few of the terrible long-term effects of hallucinogens. Through the use of medical photography, this book aims to educate readers about the very disgusting effects of hallucinogenic use on the body. |
