Good Books About Drug Related Things?

[mushi mushi 88]

Hello there, I am wondering if anybody knows of any good books that happen to be true about people with drugs and life's of people who abused them and such things and discovered things about them or something along those lines...

I have read books such as Hell's Angels, Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas, The Heroin Diaries, Kingdom of Fear and Train Spotting....

So if anybody knows of any type of drug books or underworld shit let me know on here.

Also if you cold give a little bit of a blurb on here about the books that would be awesome but if not just tell me the name of the book and maybe the author and I will look it up on the net thanks, Peace!

im writing one right now. :D

see my thread right below this one, i should have it done in a few weeks.

the format is similar to the heroin diaries by nikki sixx, but tells a completely different tale. it will be about teenage drug use, and the chilling reality of the experiences my friends and i have had.

im also encouraging bluelighters to write down short stories about adventures theve had using hard drugs as a teenager.

I would suggest "Diary of A Drug Fiend" by Aleister Crowley. It is a truly horryfying look into the depravities of addiction, and then the mastery of it through developing True Will. Of course, its written by Crowley so expect a bit of magick, but it contains an interesting, if not slightly incoherent, tale of drug (cocaine and heroin) madeness through Europe, the inevitable fall and then the regaining of freedom through the teachingf of King Lamus... I've even included a link to amazon, which was unintentiaonal, it just had a bit of a blurb as requested. I reccommend this book highly- its is very disturbing but contains true power I think. http://www.amazon.com/review/product/0877281467?filterBy=addFourStar

great question, of course, but dont create doubles of threads, as a NAS mod, politely, if they will move your preexisting thread.

and yeah i second swilllows recommendation.

The site junkielife,com has a ton of real, constantly updated diarys of real life heroin addicts. I find most of the people on there interesting. And their real ongoing storys from these people so you kinda want to root for them and hope they get better, kinda weird..
