The Little Book of Heroin: History, Effects & Addiction Guide - Little Books Series by Andrews & McMeel | Understanding Substance Abuse for Students & Researchers

This is a very introductory book about heroin. It seeks to inform the novice, and explain the drug and its effects to someone who has no experience. I purchased this book for my mother. Her oldest grandson had just died of a heroin overdose. This book allowed her to feel more informed, ask more educated questions, and basically understand.........just a little.........of her deceased grandson's lifestyle. By no means is this a textbook on heroin, but it is a good and solid introduction. I would recommend this to someone who has no experience. I would not recommend this to anyone who does have experience with either the drug or the lifestyle.
