Book Reviews of Altered States of America: Outlaws and Icons, Hitmakers and Hitmen (Nation Books)

Book Review: Entertaining and Thought Provoking
Summary: 3 Stars

This collection of articles by former pot smuggler and convict Richard Stratton, shows his talent as a gritty and skilled writer. The subject matter is drawn from articles from "Prison Life", "High Times" and other edgy magazines. He does get you to think about the problems with the drug laws and the prison system, but the constant conspiracy theories gets a little hard to swallow. An interesting read, if you like the darker side of the law.
