    Absolute agreement with Xero’s point of view. The story of Nic and his hard journey through drug addiction is so inspirational, it makes me wish I had been cool, edgy and artistic enough to take on a meth habit.

    If only I could turn back time and say yes to more drugs. If only, then maybe I too could be intellectual enough to win a Hemingway (what’s that award look like? A plank of wood with a shotgun blast through it ?); or publish for Newsweek; or promote my book through the NY Times review, my face looking so edgy, artsy and Bukow-rific cool http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/26/books/26meth.html . What a dream. The young Nic Sheff could have only dreamed, I'm sure. What a message!

    Do drugs kid. You really are the misunderstood hip genius you think you are, and someday you’ll show them all; just like Buko, Burroughs, Miller, Carroll and Sheff. Go on! You’ll be fine, and someday famous too.

    Oh, if only…
