Reviews:

Dealing with words that have resulted from the subcultures that naturally form in the world of drug users and abusers, this comprehensive dictionary defines more than 3,700 slang and formal terms `pertaining to drugs, drug use, drug effects, legal enforcement of drug laws, and other related aspects of drug manufacturing, selling and use.' Entries, arranged alphabetically in boldface, apply to the use of illicit drugs as well as the misuse of medically approved drugs. ... This compact dictionary will become a valuable resource for public and school libraries and anyone whose work requires a knowledge of drug-related terms.
—Reference Books Bulletin
This dictionary ... defines the latest slang and formal terms related to drugs, drug use, drug effects, drug abuse, and related topics. ... [It] is comprehensive, but by no means exhaustive. A glossary contains synonyms for many of the terms that were defined, thus enhancing the readers' awareness of related terminology. The bibliography is valuable for research in drug-abuse terminololgy and related subjects. Highly recommended for linguistic collections, for college and public libraries, and for readers interested in the American drug culture.
