Summary
This book reviews the five main classes of drugs of abuse that figure prominently in forensic work: alcohol; the benzodiazepines; the opoids including heroin; the stimulants including amphetamines and cocaine; and cannabis. Drawing upon clinical case histories it offers a definitive account of the pharmacological, pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties of the most common drugs of abuse that require expert evidence in court.
