Busted!: Drug War Survival Skills
Busted! is a funny, smart, subversive worst-case scenario guide for casual drug users and their tolerant friends.It's the Bible on how not to get busted and what to do if you are. Using celebrity busts, outrageous everyman busts, and the author's professional experience, Busted! is everything you need to know about the criminal justice system, Drug War style, before it's too late. Like a Law & Order episode, the book takes the reader through a typical small-time drug possession case from committing the crime (the buy/recommending a dealer), to handling police encounters like a pro, to getting busted, to spending a night in jail, to fighting your drug bust, to pleading guilty, through trials and appeals, and, finally, punishment - with irreverent humor and expert advice all the way to the bitter end. Busted! also includes drug possession law for the house party, the rave, your roommate's stash; search and seizure on the street, in your ride, in your apartment, and up your ass. Drug War Driving Lessons covers DUI's and drugged driving; also learn how to make your phone call from jail count, how to ace your bail hearing, and protect your Internet privacy. The Dope Law Index includes possession law for marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine and methamphetamine for all 50 states. BUSTED! helps the casual drug user to know his rights, walk the thin grey line between legal and illegal and ultimately stay out of jail.

I consider Busted!: Drug War Survival Skills the most useful and informative book in my library. Being a libertarian, I've never been a fan of authority and arbitrary authority at that. That's all the War on Drugs is - an arbitrary group of people (the government) telling us plebs what we can and cannot put into our own bodies. Anyone that has half a brain realizes that this sort of behavior is antithetical to freedom, and certainly fascist in nature.
Busted! has over 300 pages of drug war survival skills, from not getting busted (the first half of the book) to what you'll need to do and go through in the criminal justice system (the second half of the book) if you do get busted. Every page is filled with witty humor, and various 'dope ditties' that tell about different cases of people getting busted and what they went through...most of them completely outrageous. You want to avoid ending up like those people, because the drug war is very real and very serious.
Even if you don't use drugs, you probably have some friends and family or know someone that does drugs. I would recommend this book for you as well. The WOD affects everyone, so it's good to be on your toes and know your rights fully. A lot of people have been put through the shredder because they were ignorant of their rights...don't be like them. Get with the program.
