Description
Cocaine is one of those drugs that waxes and wanes in popularity among teens but never really goes away. New research indicates that cocaine is particularly harmful to young and still developing brains. This, coupled with the many other harmful physical and emotional repercussions of even casual cocaine use, make it all the more important to get the message across that this is one very dangerous and destructive drug. That is exactly what this text achieves, using vivid real-life vignettes, the latest scientific research, and law enforcement statistics and reports from the frontlines of policing. Any teen who reads this will be sobered by what he or she confronts here, and, hopefully, scared completely straight.
