| Click to Read an Excerpt |
Straight Dope has conversations with dope dealers as they talk about what it is like to sell pounds and pounds of weed, meth pushers talking about the fight to stay one step ahead of the law, and people from the 60's who say that drug experimentation was all for nothing.
"The fact that Straight Dope is all real - none of the stories are made up fiction. These are real tales of crime, heartbreak, and getting clean. There has not been a book that just listens and not judges until now. Straight Dope is that book."
