The Heroin User`s Handbook, Moraes Ph. D. Francis

For non-users, this mythic power is exciting. And writers for the last century have been more than willing to pander to such readers in pulp and art novels all the way up to television crime novels. But it is rare for the most people to get a real look at what is, after all, the very core of what heroin is about for its users.

To users, the interest is obvious. But ignorance of the the details of drug use among heroin users is rife -- usually based on what the author calls old junkie tales. The difference between such folklore and the truth is often the difference between life and death.

Heroin Users Handbook reveals the largely hidden world of heroin use based upon actual work with users and countless scholarly books and articles. And it does it in an extremely readable, non-technical manner -- even while providing detained and accurate information.
