Medical toxicology of drug abuse : synthesized chemicals and psychoactive plants

---

It's a great pleasure for me to write this foreword, as I have known Don Barceloux professionally for many years and we have collaborated on various projects particulary for the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology. Dr. Barceloux first estabilshed himself as a distinguished and successful author with the publication in 1988 of the first edition of Medical Toxicology: Diagnosis and Treatment of Human Poisioning, which he co-authored with the late Matthew Ellenhorn. For the reason I welcome, and indeed have been waiting eagerly for, the publication of the second volume in the medical toxicology series, which uses the sam helpful format as volume 1. Medical Toxicology of Drugs Abuse, Synthesizes Chemical and Psycoactive Plants provides in-depth up-to-date coverage of psychoactive agents that are abused, including newer designer drugs and psychoactive plants. Detailed information is provided on the pathophysiology, toxicokinetics, clinical effects (including the features associated with abstinence syndromes and reproductive abnormalities),treatment, and prevention of drugs abuse. In addition, there are sections on epidemology, on the chemical structure and and physiochemical properties of the abused substances, on impurities introduced during synthesis, on the characteristics and geographical distribution of psychoactive plants. All but six of the 66 chapters in the present volume were authored by Dr. Barceloux himself; the remainder have been written by other acknowledged experts. After reading the book in proof I am confident its impact and usefulness will be similar to volume 1. I commend this excellent book to the reader.
