Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Introducing the sensitive subject of drugs and describing what they are, and the difference between drugs which make children well and illegal drugs, this book is aimed at children who even at very young ages can be introduced to drugs at school and in everyday situations. Readers can learn about different kinds of drugs, how they make a person feel and why people choose to take them. This book gives the basic facts about drugs and makes it clear that the reader can make their own choices but the underlying message is that drugs are a bad choice. It is part of a series which introduces difficult social issues in a simple non-cluttered format. The language is sympathetic and specially formulated for young readers.
