Everything we know about drugsfrom acid to epidemics to DARE and salviaturns out to be wrongStock up on munchies and line up your water bottles: journalist Ryan Grim will take you on a crosscountry tour of illicit drug use in the U.S.from the agony (the huge DEA bust of an acid lab in an abandoned missile silo in Kansas) to the ecstasy (hallucinogens at raves and music festivals). Along the way, Grim discovers some surprising truths. Did antidrug campaigns actually encourage more drug use? Did acid really disappear in the early 2000s? And did meth peak years ago? Did our Founding Fathersor, better yet, their wivesget high just as much as we do? Traces the evolution of United Statess long and twisted relationship with drugs Gives surprising answers to questions such as: how did heroin become popular, when did the meth epidemic peak, and has LSD gone the way of Quaaludes Based on solid reporting and wideranging researchincluding surveys, reports, historical accounts, and moreNot since Eric Schlosser ventured underground to marijuanas black market in Reefer Madness has a reporter trained such a keen eye on drugs and culture. A powerful and often shocking history of one of our knottiest social and cultural problems, This is Your Country on Drugs leads you on a profound exploration of what it means to be an American.
