BookList writes: 'This is not not mere gonzo travel jounalism. It is excellent reportage...He describes, marvelously, a segement of society unlikely to go away regardless of how unhappy it makes William Bennett and George Will.'
Publisher's Weekly says: 'Fans of the film REEFER MADNESS and Hunter S. Thompson will be delighted by Simunek.'
A reader: 'It's hard to imagine that anyone writing for High Times magazine could provide incisive and cutting commentary on contemporary culture, but pessimistic smart-ass Chris Simunek doesn't let the herb go to his head when he sits down in front of the keyboard. This book is a biography of Simunek's years with High Times and his travels to Jamaica, a spring-break bash in Mexico, the Rainbow Gathering, and the annual motorcycle rally in Sturges, South Dakota. Cavorting with criminal bikers, angel-headed Rastas, and hug-happy hippies, Simunek maintains a sly cynicism that makes his self-pitying prose a dark and deeply funny pleasure.'
