OK

This book is OK, I'm reading it after reading Stoned Free and I notice that it uses alot of things I've read in Stoned Free (published around 10 years earlier). I would definitely recommend this book for teenagers or even adults who want to get into a different state of mind without using any substances. This book, despite the cover (which I don't like), actually has good information with tons of different methods to get you where you need to be. As someone who has been interested in this subject for years I can say this book doesn't fall short of my expectations for a book on the subject and is actually quite informative. The content is great, the cover...not so much, but hey, it's worth it.

Wise Highs: How to Thrill, Chill, & Get Away from It All Without Alcohol or Other Drugs

High School students want to know what other kids to get high without drugs or alcohol.

Awesome book!

I really love this book. I've been trying to live a drug free life, but the stress and pressures I feel sometimes make me think that it would be easier if I just started drinking beer and smoking weed like everyone else does. But after reading this book and incorporating some of the exercises into my life, I've found it easier to stay away from drugs. This guy has a great sense of humor and really seems to understand kids. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a way to releive stress without using drugs. Thanks, Alex. You rock!

The Ultimate Health Book For Intelligent Young People

It's all here - what every teen and young adult needs to know about how to feel really well and really good about themselves. On the premise that human beings like to get high, and that getting high is good, Dr. Packer's newest book tells us how to do it - without relying on alcohol, drugs or other substances. Written and illustrated in an engagingly contemporary way, "Highs" provides the reader with fresh, usable insights on such matters as serenity, nutrition, exercise, and relationships. Organized in three sections and 11 well- outlined chapters, it is possible - perhaps even recommended - that the reader turn to an area of particular interest first. Literate, witty, insightful, and irreverent where it should be, "Highs" is highly recommended to young people and parents alike.

An Excellent Read!

I highly recomend this book to readers of all ages. Not only is it one of the funniest books i have ever read, it also contains many good methods to sleep better, relax, and most importantly, have fun. The book is true to its title, there are many safe and healthy ways to get a rush of adrenaline, or, just the opposite. There are several full chapters and several partial chapers dedicated to learning how to reduce stress, which is definitly something that most of us need. Another feature of this book is that it tricks kids into learning new things and encouraging a good life style without the feeling of a textbook. I would highly recomend this book to anyone looking for a good, educational, fun, and most of all, entertaining read.
