Nonfiction book

The nonfiction book that I'm currently reading is “Hallucinogens”  by Ann Ricki Hurwitz and Sue Hurwitz. This book is about there is some different types drugs like marijuana (pot), mushrooms, Special K, and etc, could make you hallucinate after using it. Some of this drugs might even last longer than others.

The thing that I found interesting in the passage was when it said , “For centuries, naturally occurring hallucinogens  “ Magic mushrooms,” and marijuana have been used for medical, social and religious purposes. More recently, synthetic versions of hallucinogenic drugs have been produced, such as PCP, LSD, ecstasy, and “Special K.” Many people think that the abuse of hallucinogens was a problem only in the 1960s, but the truth is that use today is on the rise, particularly among teens. According to a 1998 study, 49 percent of twelfth graders---that's almost half---have tried marijuana”. I found this interesting because it talks about how there is some drugs that can be help to humans like for medical reasons.

The thing that I won't forget about this book is that there is lots of different drugs that would make you hallucinate after using it. Like marijuana, special k, mushrooms, ecstasy, PCP, and LSD. These drugs would make you really addicted and it would make you feel like you're impossible to defeat, but you're possible to defeat.
