Reddit reviews Zoo Station: The Story of Christiane F. (True Stories)

not an american, no dare where i'm from, but in biology class we had to give presentations about a drug we could choose. i talked about weed. lsd was from a pretty intelligent friend of mine and it really hooked me up. since then i always wanted to try it. when i finally did in my psychedelics phase it was wonderful (but psychedelics fucked me up some times and it's fucking hard to handle bad trips. shrooms, acid and others can be wonderful but be warned, that stuff is powerful, don't take it lightly, read about it a lot before trying, plan it, make sure set and setting is great and be prepared for a life changing experience.) happy tripping following the white rabbit where ever it leads you :)

christiane f. is a famous real life story of a 13 y/o girl in the 70s. she describes very very raw how she fell into hole of getting h addicted, prostituting herself, loosing her younger sister to heroin and how it fucked her up completely (she still lives and still stuggles but is better, the money from the book - a bestseller - she lost to the drugs though and is poor again). it's a hard read resp. watch as there is a film version with david bowie of it.

this book is often read in school in germany for drug prevention. but i heard pretty often that people got interested and curious in heroin exactly because they read that book in school. there is something about failed drug prevention that most teachers seem to do wrong. sometimes more obvious sometimes less.
