    yeah, it's trash pretty much, but I wouldn't base that on LSD coming on after 30 min. I've had a good trip start particulary early like that. I't;s a good read, just not true.

    and yeah, I think I brought this up a while a go to see what people think of it. and there were a few other threads about it. search past threads, man. then again this is the kid who wanted to know who would have "netsex" with him. I bet your ego's pretty shot at this point, huh?

    Nope, not written by the D.E.A. Close enough, though. Snopes has a good article about it.

    I read Go Ask Alice and didn't find it to be mind inspiring but more disturbing because of the reality of the book. I personally did not find the book to be great.

    the book title was a reference to the song.

    I can't see how some girl who never does drugs before, has some incredible acid trip and then with in that week, she shoots speed in to her arm. Most people's minds don't wrok that way. Then again it was made to scare young people. Although the book made me want to go out and do some good acid so I don't know what they were trying to accomplish.

    I hate the ending. The ending is what suck the most about it. Completely unrealistic.

    I read this book several times. I first read it in high school. I know it is pure fiction but it is, in my opinion, a good read, funny at some times. Does anyone else like this book?

    there was a thread about this book around here.
    to be honest i liked the book cos i like that kind of stuff, but i thought it was all lies. It makes lsd look as if it was addictive and it isnt, same with pot.
    i read it a while ago so i cant remember much of it.

    Yeah I just actually posted this on another thread but I just did a banned book english final on this. Made my speech of it today. I took the anit-ban stance because i think its a good alternative instead of just your health book that says "drugs aren't cool, say no."
