I don't think this is some writer in a room making this up. Her descriptions of her trips are incredibly accurate she was a wordsmith as the way she describes things iv'e never heard/read anyone describe the same. I wish I could've ben there in her time of need as i'm sure most of you do who've read the book. What Saddens me Greatley is that she mentions she sells DMT (Dimethyltryptamine) but never tries it... I say with deep confidence, as when you read this book you almost establish a familiarity with her as if she was a sibling or friend and anyone who's tried DMT cannot contain themselves as there is no other drug trip that can compare with it. Anyone who has tried DMT cannot help but SCREAM OUT and let the world know.. here s a good example (youtube "Jim Carrey Talks about his DMT experience" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38ogCISYBZM DMT kills addiction and takes All of that pressure and weight off of your mind... that war that feels like is waging in your mind that weight and pressure of going sober or coming off a mass bender is completely erased your mind is reset and all addictions are cured... I quit everything for months after my first hit of DMT including cigaretes but admit (patheticly) I am not brave enough to do it again and all my other highs hold me back as if they feal threatened. I have tried almost everything there is and what she mentions, except the difference is I am a guy and the social implications of addiction do not affect me as much, anyone elses opinion of me (except people I care about ((which is like 2 people)) do not phase me as it's easier to bear compared to a girl, I think.when I have being pushed or threatened like she was I would push and hit back and that is why it doesn't happen as often. Another big difference is that she vents into her diary, I do not write in a diary which keeps me writing in my mind constantly and I couldn't risk anyone finding it. I'm sorry to see such a beautiful soul erased and would love to have had some guidance and wisdom from her. If anyone is in a similar situation and needs an ear I just created this account anonymously and would love to hear what u have to say and swap stories. only the good die young. I love you all. K.

While, since L.S.D. is highly illegal and teenagers aren't just getting it these days, it's hard to see this movie as anything but extreme. However, the Sixties and early Seventies, those were the years when peace, love and happiness were all that mattered. The hippie years, when drugs and booze was just available. Alice, age 15, is the girl in this movie who is sort of a shy nerd until she meets a popular girl and gets invited to a party where she accidentally drinks doped soda and joins a group of stoned hippie kids all the time. Soon she's living on the streets doing literally anything to get high again, and this leads her into a dangerous world of sex and abuse until she is finally able to find the courage to call her family and get help.This film is great for nostalgic value alone, and although it seems silly and exaggerated today, L.S.D. was a real problem. It's a drug that causes hallucinations and what appears to be temporary insanity.The soundtrack was amazing, I wish all of it was available on youtube. The acting was pretty good and the movie remained interesting the whole way through. Go Ask Alice was based on a true story and a book as well, Alice is the name given to an anonymous girl who died of an overdose while hooked on drugs. This movie is totally worth watching and very interesting.

James Tiberius Kirk always has been and always shall be the One True Captain of the United Star Ship Enterprise. Andrew Taylor always has been and always shall be the One True Sheriff of Mayberry, North Carolina.It doesn't matter if they die, or haven't been born yet, or if the actors who play them die, or get recast. It doesn't even matter if they are fictional characters on fictional TV shows. Andy Taylor was Sheriff of Mayberry before "The Andy Griffith Show" was created, and will be after "The Andy Griffith Show" is forgotten. James Kirk was Captain of the Enterprise before "Star Trek was created, and will be after "Star Trek" and all its spinoffs and movie spinoffs are forgotten.

I was 13 when this film came out. I was in catholic school and the movie was shown one afternoon in religion class. Very powerful and very scary. Unfortunately it didn't scare me enough. Although I was an A-B student, I experimented with drugs in high school and over the years and wound up a full blown addict by the time I was 39. Today I am over 6 years clean. While watching a documentary on illegal drugs on the History Channel, I thought about this movie and how it should be shown in schools across America, even though it came out in 1973. Hollywood and television producers in this country should not be afraid to tackle this topic on a deeper level...drug addiction is alive and well in America and we need to prepare our children with profound and factual information even if it scares them to death. Drug addiction, as with other addictions, can be arrested if caught in time. The sad thing is that, if we continue to turn a blind eye to our borders, to our communities, to our schools and to our children, we'll continue to cultivate generations of addicts and will have no one to blame but ourselves. "Button, button...who's got the button?!" ...It's up to US to decide!
