    Funniest book I ever read. It's hilarious that no one's really tried to out it because of the morality.

    Read this link:

    FYI I too liked the book when I first read it, but instead of scaring me away from drugs it sparked my curiosity. I've yet to try acid, but the first I ever heard of it was in this book.

    Anybody else think this book was faked? I mean, really? It just seem to me like bad propaganda from health class or something......I could be wrong, tho.

    The book pretty much has been proven fake, it's just that no one wants to really out it because I guess it steers a lot of kids away from drugs. The author, or 'editor' as it says has done many similar anonymous books about the bad scenes kids get into and how your parents always know best. It is partly based on a real girl but it's been very embellished and apparently no one's ever seen the pages from when she was a prostitute, leading to the conclusion that they never existed.
    That's what I meant in my previous post but I didn't come right out and say fake because I honestly didn't know anyone actually thought it was true.

    that book is bad health class propaganda. i remember my mom telling me a few times that everybody had to read the book and watch the movie in health class when she was in highschool. i don't know if they are still using it in health class now. all i remember from health class is the this is you brain on drugs video.

    I like that book. I need to buy another copy though cause mine is all messed up from reading it so much. Fake or not it's still pretty good to me.
