false 5986635 1 Stock up on munchies and line up your water bottles: Journalist Ryan Grim will take you on an oh-so-trippy tour of illicit drug use in the US -- from agony (the huge DEA bust of an acid lab in an abandoned missile silo in Kansas) to ecstasy (hallucinogens at raves and music festivals). Along the ways Grim discovers some counterintuitive truths. Did anti-drug campaigns actually <i>encourage</i> more drug use? Did acid really disappear in the early 2000s? And did meth peak years ago? Did our Founding Fathers -- or, more accurately, their wives -- get high just as much as we do? Not since Eric Schlosser took readers underground to marijuana's black market in <i>Reefer Madness</i> has a reporter trained such a keen eye on drugs and culture. And what a culture it is: Americans get high rates many times more than people in any other nation. Grim weaves a story based on solid reporting and academic research. <i>This is Your Country on Drugs</i> takes readers on a surprising tour of the facts, landing on sure-to-be controversial answers. 6160397 8 7 2009 This Is Your Country on Drugs: The Secret History of Getting High in America total:24|5:1|4:4|3:3|2:1|1:0| 24 81 109 10 3 0 false false Sat Aug 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 15:10:09 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 15:45:30 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Oct 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 18:36:49 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 09:44:23 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jul 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 11:24:20 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 11:28:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Sep 17 19:10:25 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 11:11:58 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Oct 07 12:21:45 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 09 02:49:25 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Nov 11 19:59:01 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 20:01:13 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Wed Aug 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 11:12:09 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 21:09:53 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Thu Jul 09 09:25:42 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 09 09:29:19 -0700 2009
