Everything we know about drugs-from acid to epidemics to DARE and salvia-turns out to be wrong

Stock up on munchies and line up your water bottles: journalist Ryan Grim will take you on a cross-country tour of illicit drug use in the U.S.-from the agony (the huge DEA bust of an acid lab in an abandoned missile silo in Kansas) to the ecstasy (hallucinogens at raves and music festivals). Along the way, Grim discovers some surprising truths. Did anti-drug campaigns actually encourage more drug use? Did acid really disappear in the early 2000s? And did meth peak years ago? Did our Founding Fathers-or, better yet, their wives-get high just as much as we do?

  • Traces the evolution of United States's long and twisted relationship with drugs
  • Gives surprising answers to questions such as: how did heroin become popular, when did the meth epidemic peak, and has LSD gone the way of Quaaludes
  • Based on solid reporting and wide-ranging research-including surveys, reports, historical accounts, and more

Not since Eric Schlosser ventured underground to marijuana's black market in Reefer Madness has a reporter trained such a keen eye on drugs and culture. A powerful and often shocking history of one of our knottiest social and cultural problems, This is Your Country on Drugs leads you on a profound exploration of what it means to be an American.

Great size.
Format: Leather Bound
We bought this for our son in college. He loves the size. He brings it to church and studies from it at school. Great Bible. He enjoys taking notes in it.

Pages are a little thin but nice Bible.
Format: Leather Bound
This Bible is a great option for someone with good eyesight, as the print is on the smaller side. I personally prefer larger print, but the smaller text does make it more compact and convenient to carry. I got this for my daughter in college, and it’s perfect for her since she likes to take notes during sermons. The leather cover is very nice and adds a quality feel. I do wish the pages were a bit thicker, as there is some show-through from writing on the other side—something to keep in mind for a journaling Bible. Overall, it’s a nice, basic option for jotting down notes and reflections.

Great for my expectations!
This is not the Bible that I read from during my daily quiet time, nor the Bible that I take to worship with me at church - but also not my originial intentions, which was to have a small compact (but complete) Bible to have with me at all times. It is small and lightweight, and easy to carry in my purse; available any time I need to reference it.

Beautifully Made
Format: Leather Bound
This Bible is absolutely beautiful and feels very high quality. The natural brown leather has a classic, timeless look, and the flap with the strap closure is a really nice touch that makes it feel both elegant and practical. It keeps everything protected and gives it a unique design compared to standard Bibles. The journaling layout is one of my favorite parts. The margins are wide enough for notes, reflections, prayers, and study thoughts without making the pages feel too crowded. The paper is fairly thin, as expected with most Bibles, but I was pleasantly surprised that there was minimal bleed-through when using pens that aren’t overly heavy. It’s been great for both personal study and devotional time. Overall, this is a gorgeous journaling Bible that feels thoughtfully made. It would make a wonderful personal Bible or a meaningful gift for someone who enjoys note-taking, Bible study, or journaling alongside Scripture.

Not quite premium, but a very nice Bible
Format: Leather Bound, Format: Leather Bound
I’m a Bible snob and I have a few issues with this Bible, but it’s currently listed at around $77 on sale and many of my Bibles are $150+ so I’ve still given it 5 stars as it is a nice Bible and very reasonable quality for the price. If it’s what you are looking for, I would not hesitate to recommend it. My issues: Page thickness and opacity. The pages (especially for a journaling Bible) could be a tad thicker and more opaque. That being said, certainly not the worst I’ve seen and they are passable. The paper does have a really nice softness, that’s almost cotton feeling (and less tissue paper feeling) - which I do like. No line matching. Many premium quality Bibles will line match the text on the front and back of the page to limit the distraction of text that shows through the pages. This Bible is definitely not line matched. The cover design is not overly practical for travel. The leather strap is meant to be tied in a knot. There is also a bump on the back where the pen holding elastic is installed inside the cover. Both of these feel like they will easily catch and cause uneven wear if you plan to carry it in a book bag with other flat things. Things I like: The pages feel nice. Having a real leather cover does feel nicer than a flimsy cover It lays really nice. The text is small but the layout is compact and clean looking. The limited footnotes are a mix of translation notes, contextual notes (like measurement conversions), and references. They are very brief and limited notes, but I like the hybrid of information. The ESV translation, while not my favorite as it tends to be a little more evangelical, is a very solid translation and used by many churches. Overall it’s a nice Bible and I could easily see it being a companion in someone’s faith journey for many years to come with a leather cover that will age beautifully and space to keep notes and thoughts along the way.
