Description Between 1994 and 1996, music writer Paolo Hewitt spent the greater part of his life on the road with Oasis, in the U.K., Europe and America. He came back with tales that would cement the legend of the brawling, effing, hedonistic, charismatic, confessional and extraordinarily talented Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam, and their group. Hewitt is a rare and perceptive fly-on-the-wall during the band's hectic rise to the height of their powers, as their first two albums are released to the kind of excitement scarcely seen in British rock music since the sixties. Hewitt takes the Gallaghers' story right back to their parents' roots in Ireland, and the descriptions of Noel and Liam's childhoods in working-class Manchester reveal the seeds of their determination to make Oasis the force it became. Getting High is an illuminating, funny, sometimes shocking reminder of how big a band can get, and how quickly the insanity sets in. Oasis have today sold in excess of 70 million records worldwide. Hewitt's intimate account of this explosive and beloved band, in their prime, is a rock classic and a riveting narrative. Praise for Getting High: 'Paolo is the only person to speak about what it was like on the road with us because he's been there. He's been there, he's seen it, he's done it.' Noel Gallagher 'Top read.' Melody Maker 'Unlimited access to all areas of the Oasis bandwagon is the ace up this biography's sleeve.' Q '10/10 - sometimes you get what you pay for.' Esquire 'By adopting a fly-on-the-wall approach and writing Oasis's story as though it were a novel rather than a straight biography, he succeeds in entertaining, informing and occasionally putting you inside the head of the Gallagher brothers.' Hot Press 'In Getting High we get closer to the real Oasis, not the tabloid fancies, the music press stereotypes of Noel the genius, Liam the wanker and three other blokes who don't count. Hewitt paints an engrossing and uplifting portrait of one of the most important bands of the decade.' The Word and Issue 'Getting High is refreshingly well written' Total Guitar 'Compelling drama' Manchester Evening News 'If you only buy one book about Oasis, then make sure it's this one.' FHM 'This well-researched tome chronicles many a pivotal moment in Oasis's history and is filled with plenty of ribald anecdotes.' NME 'Head and shoulders above every other Oasis book. I hated finishing it so much I read it again.' Irvine Welsh

Addicts, abusers and users know about the euphoric feeling they get from their drug(s) of choice, but what they dont know or choose to ignore is the negative effects these same drugs have on their bodies. This was the basis for this book. I have had clients tell me that their drug of choice had no negative effect on their bodies. As I began to research the effects of drugs I realized that there are a lot of myths and misinformation available. In this book I have tried to use the best information and empirical research available.

“Hart’s argument that we need to drastically revise our current view of illegal drugs is both powerful and timely . . . when it comes to the legacy of this country’s war on drugs, we should all share his outrage.” —The New York Times Book Review From one of the world's foremost experts on the subject, a powerful argument that the greatest damage from drugs flows from their being illegal, and a hopeful reckoning with the possibility of their use as part of a responsible and happy life Dr. Carl L. Hart, Ziff Professor at Columbia University and former chair of the Department of Psychology, is one of the world's preeminent experts on the effects of so-called recreational drugs on the human mind and body. Dr. Hart is open about the fact that he uses drugs himself, in a happy balance with the rest of his full and productive life as a researcher and professor, husband, father, and friend. In Drug Use for Grown-Ups, he draws on decades of research and his own personal experience to argue definitively that the criminalization and demonization of drug use--not drugs themselves--have been a tremendous scourge on America, not least in reinforcing this country's enduring structural racism. Dr. Hart did not always have this view. He came of age in one of Miami's most troubled neighborhoods at a time when many ills were being laid at the door of crack cocaine. His initial work as a researcher was aimed at proving that drug use caused bad outcomes. But one problem kept cropping up: the evidence from his research did not support his hypothesis. From inside the massively well-funded research arm of the American war on drugs, he saw how the facts did not support the ideology. The truth was dismissed and distorted in order to keep fear and outrage stoked, the funds rolling in, and Black and brown bodies behind bars. Drug Use for Grown-Ups will be controversial, to be sure: the propaganda war, Dr. Hart argues, has been tremendously effective. Imagine if the only subject of any discussion about driving automobiles was fatal car crashes. Drug Use for Grown-Ups offers a radically different vision: when used responsibly, drugs can enrich and enhance our lives. We have a long way to go, but the vital conversation this book will generate is an extraordinarily important step.

An inside look at how patients living with terminal illness created one of the country’s first medical marijuana collectives Marijuana as medicine has been a politically charged topic in this country for more than three decades. Despite overwhelming public support and growing scientific evidence of its therapeutic effects (relief of the nausea caused by chemotherapy for cancer and AIDS, control over seizures or spasticity caused by epilepsy or MS, and relief from chronic and acute pain, to name a few), the drug remains illegal under federal law. In Dying to Get High, noted sociologist Wendy Chapkis and Richard J. Webb investigate one community of seriously-ill patients fighting the federal government for the right to use physician-recommended marijuana. Based in Santa Cruz, California, the Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana (WAMM) is a unique patient-caregiver cooperative providing marijuana free of charge to mostly terminally ill members. For a brief period in 2004, it even operated the only legal non-governmental medical marijuana garden in the country, protected by the federal courts against the DEA. Using as their stage this fascinating profile of one remarkable organization, Chapkis and Webb tackle the broader, complex history of medical marijuana in America. Through compelling interviews with patients, public officials, law enforcement officers and physicians, Chapkis and Webb ask what distinguishes a legitimate patient from an illegitimate pothead, good drugs from bad, medicinal effects from just getting high. Dying to Get High combines abstract argument and the messier terrain of how people actually live, suffer and die, and offers a moving account of what is at stake in ongoing debates over the legalization of medical marijuana.

Getting high with pot is enjoyable, mostly safe and perfectly okay, as millions of us know. However, the problem is, (other than being illegal in most states): we keep coming down! So what can we do about that? Read, "The Potless Pot High!" This book will help anyone (pot user or not) to get high, clear and spunky without weed, without the hassle of marijuana or other "get high" drugs. This book offers five different games to play to catch an easy, natural, grinning "Daily Buzz." This book offers a progressive series of mental, emotional and physical techniques that spontaneously bring about a natural, easy and effortless "potless pot high," or "higher consciousness" very similar to that attained through marijuana. These simple techniques have been proven to take the user to higher, steadier, clearer, more enjoyable states than those experienced with marijuana. What makes this book unique is the recognition that the use of marijuana--- and other mind-altering substances and mind altering activities--- even for long periods of time, are engaged first of all because they are mostly enjoyable (that's why so many do it!) but also because such changes in consciousness may be psychologically necessary, perhaps even biologically programmed. (As Wavy Gravy put it, "Only the jailers are against escape." ) Yes, changing states of mind is basically healthy and evolutionarily imperative. Thus, the Potless Pot High contains no condemnation for pot smoking, only an honest and thorough appraisal of its short and long term effects, both pro and con, on mind, body and social relationships. Chapter titles include, "The First Head Rush," "Rest in Peace, Timothy Leary," "All You Need Is Love (and a Little Toke, )" "Your Brain on Drugs: Enjoying Alpha, Beta, Theta, and Those Sweet, Sweet Gamma Waves," "Opening Our Brain Gates: How Pot-and the Potless Games-Dissolve Cultural Addiction," and "Is All Marijuana Use Medicinal?" The white-haired author first smoked pot before he was able to vote. He was a long-term addictions counselor and is now a deeply experienced marijuana researcher and non-duality teacher and practitioner. "I got a buzz just reading this book," one early reviewer commented.
