My Lit/Speech/Drama teacher said that what happened was that during the time he wrote the book, opium was one of the most widely abused drugs. It was said that he HATED the fact that people were addicted to it, and sometimes openly pushing/using the drug.

He had grandchildren, and she told me he wrote the book to try and scare them out of ever doing drugs.

I don't know, either way, good movie, great book.


Btw, Billy and Mandy is effing AWESOME! That's one of my favorite shows. The entire thing plays out like a mushroom trip, Baby Face.
