Go Ask Alice

Even though it was fake and written to turn people off drugs, if anything it made me want to do drugs even more.

 

You gotta be kidding. that book was designed to be anti drug propoganda. Apparently it only made drugs that much more appealing, but of course they would have been likely to appeal to me anyways. i read the book after i was well schooled in the art of mind alteration b/c i saw it at a thrift store for like 50 cents. i didn't know at the time it was a fake, so i found it captivating. it took me about three days to read it. it's sort of like the blair witch project for drug users especially in that it lost all of it's mystery and fun when i found out it wasn't real. but we can all thank this piece of literature for helping to inspire possibly one of Jefferson Airplane's best songs. and a hilarious scene in Fear and loathing in las vegas.

 

my parents made me read it in 7th grade to keep me off drugs.

i started smoking weed that summer.

 

The one thing i remeber about the book is in the begining of the book they used a system called "Babysitting" which is pretty much looking after someone while they are on drugs does anybody here use that system at all? I think its a pretty good idea.

 

book is fake, sorry fellas

 

^ hadn't noticed. glad you pointed that out

 

Actually, 'twas the other way 'round... but I think "Alice in Wonderland" (and "Through the Looking Glass") did have a hand in that batch of musical awesomeness. :H

 

oh. i thought Go Ask Alice was a reference to the song.

 

...yeah... but I thought you...... oh, my head... >_<

 

mine too ... what i meant to say is i thoght the song was referencing the book

 

Nope. The song was about how coked-up the Alice stories are.

The author of the book was just like "I'll take a line from that famous drug song and turn it against them! That'll show those filthy hippies!" (or something like that)... sort of not realizing that the song itself was based on another book.

(Reminds me of when my boyfriend started writing a book based on an ABBA song, and then found out it was based on a Greek myth. )

 

lol... u are a beacon of enlightenment

 

Enlightenment... usless trivia... same dif.

 

Useless trivia is like my religion

 

I thought this book was really good...Although I don't think it really turned me off to any drugs or anything like that...

 

yea i read this twice!

 

i was in 9 th. grade when the english teacher gave it out. i read about 10 pages into it and i thought "this is 100% prime grade A bullshit!" i told her the next day during class that "this book is a crock of shit and it stinkth; i would not even wipe my ass with this!" i got myself suspended for 2 weeks from school for that comment. that made me very happy! (school sucks! it is a fascist shithole!) anyhow when my niece and nephew got to 7th. grade they got "that book" assinged to them. i told them to tear out the pages and use them to smoke weed because thats all it's good for. i went out and bought 2 copies of andrew weil's book "from chocolate to morphine" at the local head shop. i told them, that i did not want their heads filled with a bunch of project dare scare tactics bullshit! you kids need facts from both sides and not the lying shit the school fascists' try to cram down your throat's.

 

personally i think this 'book' is 100% crock of shit....clearly nothing but propoganda. these phony ass descriptions make her out to be a junkie with no base that will do anything. ive met serious drug users with more common sense and grounding than this fictitious 'alice' charactor. i mean come on the part @ the end where she supposedly commits suicide after leaving the mental institution--thats exactly what they want you to believe will happen to any recreational user. the way they make her out to be a nice girl in the begining who wants to clump in with all the other social stigmas but just isnt 'in.' her trying a couple hits off a joint, then a couple of pages later shes shooting everything up-cant you see this feeds into the government 'gateway' drug stereotype?

if you read this book before you tried a certain and it made you want to try it even more...maybe you should consider playing scrabble or something getting high is about having fun. but at the same time real drugs are not a toy or game
