Vaguely amusing pastiche of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" drivel. Very uneven - some of the tales were screamingly funny, others wincingly bad. Dated too - written long before any state had legalized recreational pot. Worth a run through for the history, I suppose, and stories from some of the better known names of the period (Robert Anton Wilson, Hunter Thompson, Mark Mothersbaugh, Wavy Gravy, etc...)

Weirdo libertine political rag from the 60s-70s, kind of brilliant, kind of annoying, kind of like Jello Biafra's spoken word.
