Confessions of a Dope Dealer ([2nd ed.])

For years, author Sheldon Norberg dealt drugs in the pot hills of Northern California.

A scholarship-winning student, he dropped out of UCLA in favor of the overpowering lure of the Grateful Dead and counterculture living.

Soon Norberg was making deals and doing drugs all the way from Humboldt to Berkeley.

Confessions of a Dope Dealer provides an eye-opening, no-holds-barred account of Sheldon's life, but it also provides much more.

It's a story of how one man's quest for transcendence blinded him to what he really needed: simple human acceptance.

As Sheldon grows, he comes to see himself and his drug-addled life in new ways; this in turn allows him to analyze the cultural myths and values that surround drugs in America, producing a provocative memoir with a take on drugs like none other.
