Part memoir, part current affairs, part argument for legalization - The War on Drugs is a MUST READ for those who believe that the war on drugs only happens to "those people" in "that part of town."

Written from the point of view of a wife and mother, The War On Drugs: An Old Wives' Tale examines the pros and cons of marijuana prohibition, drug diversion programs, and challenges the reader to define the nature of addiction and other pre-conceived notions.

Early reviews have included:

"Written with the humor of hindsight, yet the abject horror of getting caught in the cross fire of the so-called War On Drugs comes through with crystal clarity. For anyone that has any doubt about the truth of the matter, it becomes abundantly clear that the war on drugs is really a war on people, - good wholesome people that care for their children and make a positive contribution to their community. This is a must read. The War on Drug's: An Old Wives' Tale lays bare the absurdity of Marijuana Prohibition, the lies and injustice of our Legal System, and the unscientific, unethical nature of 'The Recovery Industry.' Read it. Believe it. And be warned."All Rights Reserved

{Completed} When work time ends and I board the bus, I scramble for a seat by the window to watch strangers pass by, every person with a struggle, a story to tell. One that the entire world will shake upon hearing yet not change. Problems came in different forms for every individuals. Some people worry about their broken cars on the way to work, a broken limb maybe from sport, a broken heart from a shitty partner, a broken spirit from grief. For me, I've only ever struggled with superficial problems. I've had days where my concerns were my cold mocha, my grades, the broken printer, and the video message that wouldn't load. On certain days, I worried about boys, and whatnot. Last year, bigger problems came in the form of my father's addiction to gambling. We all thought he had complete discretion over what he did with his money, so we let him face his consequences alone. But soon like a vine, it spread to the rest of the family and broke us from inside, out. -------------------------- #1 in adaptive #9 in dyslexia Word count: 30000+ Cover credits to me🤍 Started: August 29th, 23 Published: October 10th, 23 xx

Desperate Need (Completed) by Morticia88

There are 2 kinds of people in this world: people who enjoy smut stories, and liars. This is a story of addiction and pleasure, how they can combine to create a monster of desperate craving, infatuation and desire. Our main character has no issue working side by side with the beautiful woman who can hold her own with the boys on the team until he finds himself lucky enough to delight in the pleasures of her flesh. Upon their first moment of intimacy an addiction is born inside of him and he feels a desperation growing more and more with every moment that he is not with her. He needs her. It grows exponentially with every hidden meeting they get the opportunity to claim and with every one that slips through their fingers with the ringing of a phone, the call of duty, the simplicity of the intricacies of life. As their secret relationship continues they take more and more risks with their delight in each other, finding what the other truly desires. But they both have partners at home and their emotional entanglements begin to battle with their simple enjoyment of the flesh. A corner is turned. Heads roll. Universes collide. Lives are ruined, changed, stopped. Will there be a happy ending for anyone? Or will the hammer of justice crumble all the hopes and dreams of pleasure, delight and happiness. Will love win out? Will duty be enforced? I guarantee you won't see the ending coming. Be warned, this is not simple getting dirty reading, there are plot lines, intricate characters and twists involved in this story. If you are not up for some hard core sexual reading then please find another book to read. This book is for those wanting to indulge in something naughty and delicious. FAIR WARNING: * HEAVY SEX SCENES * TRIGGER WARNING IN SOME CHAPTERS * Do not read at work * Do not read around family members * You may need spare batteries * Enjoy yourselves (pun intended)

Bryan Brent(The U-Turn) by MystiquCal

Four good hours gone and yet nothing - no solution. I kicked a chair in my office hard sending it flying through an empty space as it crashed to the floor. Shelving off all the documents on my table to the floor, I created a perfect mess. The feeling of frustration engulfed me, tightening all the muscles in my body. It was like I was having a panic attack. I quickly helped myself to the bottle of whisky on the bar and drank uncontrollably from it. I remembered the last time I drank this way and what happened. But at this moment, all I needed was to forget everything that was happening. Closing my eyes briefly to relieve all of the tension, I opened them again but the pain was still there, the reality of my loss was dawning on me completely and I was helpless. 'Desperate times calls for desperate measures' that's what they say. Bryan a twenty-seven years old billionaire had a perfect life until Maryrose Brent, his mother decides to show up after ten years and a supposed dead uncle finally resurrects. Suddenly his perfect life takes a U-Turn and begins to crumble bit by bit before his eyes. Could it all be a mere coincidence or is there someone truly behind all of the happenings? And how far, are they willing to take it? Perhaps, till the last breath is sucked out of his body. [Unedited] Started February 2020 Ended July 2020 Word count [144,591]

Be careful love:) ~~~~~~ Once you become addicted to something it never goes away. And that's what we are addicted. When addicted you'll do anything to get your next fix and for us that involved fighting, murder, and risking our lives just to see the other breathing. and even when your "sober" you'll always be addicted, that will always be your one true craving. That's exactly what happened too. We would set fire to the world around us and never let a flame touch the other because if we did... ... we'd destroy ourselves in the process. Simply I was marked by him And he was marked by me. ~~~~~ THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING MY BOOK A CHANCE. PLEASE VOTE AND COMMENT. I HOPE YOU ENJOY BABE:
