They have the ability to make someone feel more awake, aware, confident, or energetic. These drugs boost alertness, focus, energy, blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing rate.

Long-term usage of powerful stimulants can have negative consequences. The easy-to-read format of the book should make it appealing to readers.
