The title will outline where drugs come from and how they are developed, from sampling trees and plants in the wild to a product that you can buy from the supermarket. You will also learn that it can take over twelve years to get a drug onto the market, and that even after extensive tests drugs can have damaging effects. After listening to this title, you will have good background knowledge about drugs and how the body changes when they are taken.
