"The book's strength is that it gives a voice to the most common but often most forgotten type of user: the recreational user whose use is pleasurable, social and largely a product of a complex mix of agency, structure and culture.

"In addressing a group of drug users who haven't been the traditional focus of drug policy (as well as those who abstain) but who make up the majority of users in the country, Williams has produced a narrative that helpfully reminds us of the complex interplay of experience, relationships and place that help shape their decisions."- Andrew Brown, Druglink
