“You need to become informed not only about which drugs your children are exposed to, but also with the agenda and strategies of those who would legitimize, legalize, and sell drugs to your children.”

Quote from "Drugs - What Your Kid Should Know” (Page 5) By: K. Wayne Hindmarsh, Ph.D., FCSFS, Pharmacy & Apotex Continuing Education, 2000

This book provides parents and youth with scientific information related to the health effects of the most commonly abused drugs. It is both comprehensive and easy to understand.  The author has provided accurate information based on personal experiences during his work in forensic science and from scientific literature.

In addition to this book, Dr. Hindmarsh has co-authored the book “Too Cool for Drugs,” a book aimed at primary school aged children dealing with peer pressure and the problem of drug use. He is also the author of over 80 scientific articles related to drug distribution and forensic toxicology.

Dr. Hindmarsh was just presented the Pillar of Pharmacy Award by the Canadian Foundation for Pharmacy in recognition of his many accomplishments and contributions to the pharmacy profession in Canada.
