Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Demented Sons MC is my family, and I'm their president. A short stint in the military after my brother’s death taught me discipline, loyalty, and how to kill without remorse. But it did nothing for my guilt. My brother died because of me and my choices. I didn’t deserve to be loved, nor did I want it. Casual sex was enough, because I was married to my grief. After an out-of-town one-night stand, I began to think I could be wrong. I couldn’t get her out of my head. Too bad we’d decided no names. With kids in my town overdosing left and right and a killer on the loose, it was probably for the best. Then she showed up in my backyard, playing with fire hot enough to burn us all to the ground.

This book was released on 2002-03-04 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Publisher-supplied data) This book represents the first systematic discussion of the Gateway Hypothesis, a developmental hypothesis formulated to model how adolescents initiate and progress in the use of various drugs. In the United States, this progression proceeds from the use of tobacco or alcohol to the use of marijuana and other illicit drugs. This volume presents a critical overview of what is currently known about the Gateway Hypothesis. The authors of the chapters explore the hypothesis from various perspectives ranging from developmental social psychology to prevention and intervention science, animal models, neurobiology and analytical methodology. This volume is original and unique in its purview, covering a broad view of the Gateway Hypothesis. The juxtaposition of epidemiological, intervention, animal and neurobiological studies represents a new stage in the evolution of drug research, in which epidemiology and biology inform one another in the understanding of drug abuse.
