An enticing collection of original writing on drugs by the bestselling author of Mr. Nice. A totally different kind of anthology filled with everything but the predictable. Take a trip through the heady highs and stoney lows of the history and discovery of drugs. The guide is Howard Marks, the guru of dope-smuggling, dope-dealing, and just, well, dope! The territory is the world of mind-bending substances. From politics and sex to business and religion, rock n’ roll to literature, this unique collection includes Howard’s favourite drug writings from Dickens to Welsh, as well as many new and hilarious anecdotal stories from the drug lord himself.
