Stoned Again: The High Times and Strange Life of a Drugs Correspondent"In Stoned Again, Mike Sager refers to himself as a "drugs correspondent," but that's legitimately humble smoke that belies what's really going on here.

"In Stoned Again, Mike Sager refers to himself as a "drugs correspondent," but that's legitimately humble smoke that belies what's really going on here.

--Maximillian Potter, author, Shadows in the Vineyard: The True Story of the Plot to Poison the World's Greatest Wine

From the brutal days and nights of life inside a crack gang in Los Angeles, to the artistic miseries of young heroin addicts on the ultra-hip lower east side of New York; from the Sonoran desert where Carlos Castaneda made his earliest shamanic discoveries, to the cell at Folsom Prison where the author first encountered the King of Funk, Rick James, to the modest headquarters of the Church of Realized Fantasies, where the Pope of Pot presided over the first highly organized marijuana delivery service, Stoned Again: The High Times and Strange Life of a Drugs Reporter takes you to places you didn't necessarily want to go on your own. But with Sager as your guide, you can't wait to head to the next destination.

Sager has been called "the Beat poet of American journalism, that rare reporter who can make literature out of shabby reality." Nowhere is that skill more in evidence than when he writes about the seamier sides of life. Kirkus Reviews called him "Virgil in the modern American inferno."

"Mike Sager is a journalistic icon and a literary force. A whole generation of writers has been shaped and guided by his work. This is a seminal collection by a master of the form."
--Wil S. Hylton, author, Vanished: The Sixty-Year Search for the Missing Men of World War II

Not bad really
Size: Large, Color: Light Grey Heather
I purchased a size Large and it's just a smidge loose but it's nothing that is really noticeable or uncomfy. I'm about 180lbs at 5'9 with somewhat of a beer belly but not a huge one lol. If you're body is about the same as mine and if you want a more fitted feel them go with a medium. So overall it's very comfortable it's my 3rd Amazon brand type of garment or clothing that ive purchased so far. Still too early to tell just how durable it is but I'll be sure to update that eventually. I use it for work (nothing heavy white collar work) and during the warm seasons I absolutely loath regular cotton style shirts. I'm not a fan of the summer weather so I tend to buy clothing that is more suitable for warm temps. This is 100% polyester and it's breathable as heck. That's what I like most about it. The overall texture and feel is somewhat "rough" but soft at the same time (if that makes any sense) but it's nothing that you'll be self conscious about. So don't let that scare you away. It's comfy and inexpensive and I recommend.

Great quality, seems to run just a little big
This is an excellent quality shirt. While I haven't put the "quick-dry" feature to the test, it definitely feels like it would dry quickly if wet. It has a little bit of weight to it but not so much that it feels heavy, just that you're well aware you're wearing it. I picked up a large and I'm about 5'9 and 175lbs (and 14 neck) - and I feel like I'm swimming in this thing (it's a bit on the bigger side). I'm definitely going to order more, probably several, but will likely drop down to a Medium and see how big a difference it makes. Hopefully it fits better without being too small. Overall, great quality and value - highly recommended (whether for golf, work, or just casual outings).
