This book, written by a professor of pharmacology at The University of Illinois Medical Center, ranges over a vast spectrum by using drugs as a taking off place. Cardinal Mindszenty's trial, astrology, extrasensory perception, REM sleep, and fundamentalist religion are all woven into Professor Smith's discussion of the place of drugs in our present youth culture.

The book starts with seven chapters devoted to a fairly detailed description of the pharmacological properties of certain drugs.
