This book is a reasonable, balanced, non-judgmental presentation of every major category of drugs. They talk about heroin, speed, cannabis, hallucinogens, everything. They just give the facts, without ever trying to tell you what you should or shouldn't do.

Except for the section on inhalants. In that section alone, the authors saw fit to include a disclaimer, in bold letters, something to the effect of: due to the dangerous and brain-damaging nature of the chemicals in this section, the authors of this book DO NOT RECOMMEND the recreational use of inhalants in any form

There's a book called Buzzed that is pretty much what you are talking about, written by a team of people with Ph.D.s. Me personally, I would buy that one over one from some random person on reddit. Just me though.

That's not it but I did find the book I was thinking about in the related books to that one. I forgot that it was called Buzzed.

Edit: Solved

I don't think it's all propaganda, if you are willing to, you can read and find more sources in this book: http://www.amazon.com/Buzzed-Straight-Alcohol-Ecstasy-Revised/dp/0393344517/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452809125&sr=8-1&keywords=buzzed

The third edition listed various studies that found that abusing marijuana at a development stage of your brain, affected it's size - Not sure how that relates to IQ.

Buzzed: The Straight Facts About the Most Used and Abused Drugs from Alcohol to Ecstacy

>pg. 114: "Because LSD is so potent and so easily dissolved, it is most often diluted and dissolved in liquid and then absorbed into a piece of blotter paper. No other drug is potent enough to be used in this form. Most of the LSD sold in this format is synthesized in just a few laboratories in northern California, and the product is almost invariably pure LSD...LSD is also sold in gelatin squares (window pane) and in tiny pills (microdots)."
>
>"...the hallucinogenic and toxic effects of lysergic acid derivatives have been recognized for thousands of years. Certian species of morning glory seeds that provided a drug called ololuiqui or tlitlitzin in Mexico contain a related chemical, lysergic acid amide...an alcoholic beverage made by extraction of the seeds with a favorite form of alcohol will cause an LSD-like hallucinatory experience."

Sorry if this bursts your bubble, but there are plenty out there already.

Buzzed is the best ive read. It is currently on its 4th edition, and im sure they will do a 5th in a few years.

Although, any correct information is good information, and informing people will always help
