I re-read this book to follow along with the You’re Wrong About book club and in anticipation of Unmask Alice.
Honestly the only rational reason to read this book is out of nostalgia or academic interest. It is not a real diary, it does not have any information or insights into the subject matter, and it’s incredibly stigmatizing to actual drug users. It is, however, decently written and relatively short, so it’ll be a quick read if you’ve got some reason for doing so.
