This thought-provoking work examines not only the chemical properties of various substances but also the ethical implications and societal consequences of their misuse.

In this compelling narrative, Turkington navigates the complex landscape of chemicals that are frequently employed for illegal activities. He meticulously unpacks the chemical structures and reactions involved, while also illustrating the human stories behind these substances. Through a blend of scientific analysis and real-world examples, the book presents a balanced view of the dual-edged nature of chemistry in society.
