"Dr. Goode is an excellent writer who integrates sociology, pharmacology, and legal issues well. The overall text flows well and follows a logical sequence."
-- Randall L. Tackett, University of Georgia

"The book's major strength is that it is grounded in sociological theory and new methods. By developing the historical context and trends in use, followed by issues-oriented material which opens discussions of politics and economics, the book has become increasingly provocative and relevant."
-- Jerome R. Koch, Texas Tech University
