The text describes how users experience a “high” energy burst, why an “extra” feeling is followed by depression and lethargy when the drug wears off, and how the body’s systems are strained through increased breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. It addresses dependence, overdose and infection risks, and frames harm awareness through “Speed kills,” then introduces topics including legal issues, costs, treatment, counselling, and available information.","# Need to Know\n\nAmphetaminesSean Connolly  \n~  \n■  \nEFC Library  \n# Need to KnowAmphetamines\n\nSean Connolly  \nEPPING FOREST COLLEGE  \nBORDERS LANE  \nLOUGHTON,ESSEX  \nTel:0181-5088311  \n331  \nwww.heinemann.co.ukvisit our website to find out more information about Heinemann Library books.  \nTo order:  \nPhone 44(0)1865888066  \nSend a fax to 44(0)1865314091  \nVisit the Heinemann Bookshop at www.heinemann.co.uk to browse our catalogue and order online.  \nFirst published in Great Britain by Heinemann Library,Halley Court,Jordan Hil,Oxford OX28EJ,a division ofReed Educational and Professional Publishing Ltd.  \nHeinemann is a registered trademark of Reed Educational &Professional Publishing Limited.  \nOxford Melbourne Auckland Johannesburg Blantyre Gaborone Ibadan Portsmouth NH (USA)Chicago  \n◎Reed Educational and Professional Publishing Ltd 2000The moral right of the proprietor has been asserted.  \nAllrights reserved.No part of this publication may be reproduced,stored in a retrieval system,or transmittedin any form or by any means,electronic,mechanical,photocopying,recording,or otherwise without either theprior written permission of the Publishers or a licence permiting restricted copying in the United Kingdomissued by the Copyright Licensing Agency Ltd,90 Tottenham Court Road,London W1P OLP  \nDesigned by M2 Graphic DesignPrinted in Hong Kong/ChinaOriginated by Ambassador Litho Ltd.  \n0403020100  \n10987654321  \nISBN 0431097771  \n# British Library Cataloguing in Publication Data\n\nSean Connolly  \nAmphetamines-(Need to know)  \n1.Amphetamines-Juvenile literature 2.Amphetamine abuse -Juvenile Iiterature ITile 362.2'99  \nAcknowledgements  \nThe Publishers would like to thank the following for permission to reproduce photographs:  \nAlsport:Vandystadt pg.39;Bubles:pg.29,pg.50,pg.51,Pauline Cutter pg.43;Camera PresS:pg.30;
