Publication Date: 2012-03-06
Marc Lewis's relationship with drugs began in a New England boarding school where he made brief escapes from reality by way of cough medicine, alcohol, and marijuana. In Memoirs of an Addicted Brain, he applies his professional expertise to a study of his former self, using the story of his own journey through addiction to tell the universal story of addictions of every kind. He explains the neurological effects of a variety of powerful drugs, and shows how they speak to the brain in its own language.
