antidepressants, common but readily abused products acting as hazardous
inhalants, plant-based substances that can be poisonous when abused, illegal
drugs, and the human body’s natural chemicals that play decisive roles in
promoting substance abuse. School and public libraries cannot afford to be
without this comprehensive and authoritative resource on a critical
