Aimed at students and practitioners in the forensic sciences, this text describes the different techniques that can be employed for the analysis of drugs of abuse. The volume opens with a discussion of drug use trends, control, and analysis in the UK, Australia, and the US. Each of the remaining eight chapters covers the identification and analysis of a particular drug or class of drug (LSD, psilocybin, pharmaceutical drugs, etc.).
