100 Things You're Not Supposed To Know, by Russ Kick
http://www.amazon.com/100-Things-Youre- ... 1932857621
I read it all in a day. It's really pretty good. Some amazing info in there. For instance, it's unconstitutional to prosecute anyone for using any drug they are addicted to, legal or not. You can prosecute them for behavior stemming from the addiction, such as theft, driving drunk, etc, but not use of the drug. The Supreme Court has upheld this. I found this fascinating, and I understood why "possession" is the crime when it comes to drugs. "Possession of a controlled substance" rather than "use of an illegal drug." It's an informative book.
Peace,
Barry
