is she a good writer? she seemed like a fun character when she was on the redscare pod but a glance through her vice drug blogging didn't really inspire me to read more into her

it was a good read. i had so much fun and sometimes that's all you need. i also feel she definitely gets across the stuff she wants to say a lot more... uhh articulately? in her writing than her speaking. i'd def rec getting an ebook at least lol.

if yall are looking for more drug memoirs in a similar vein check out cleo odzer's goa freaks: my hippie years in india, there's a pdf floating around somewhere which is very questionably edited and is all over the place, but that's the fun.. i love reading about shit like this first hand especially from messy authors

It basically is, the author wrote down all his youth and drug experiences in a sort of journal during drug rehab, out of this journal he afterwards created the book

Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo is fun for the whole family with child self-prostitution and David Bowie (I don't know whether there's an English translation, but there's a good movie adaption with subtitles that used to be on YT. Maybe it's taken down though)
