Drugs. It's a serious problem. And teens have serious questions. Why do people get involved with drugs? What should someone do if they already are? How do they ask for help? The Dirt on Drugs offers more than a "just say no" approach. It urges teens to resist the temptation not just because they should, but because their life will be much happier and healthier if they do. With an in-your-face message and hard-hitting facts, Justin Lookadoo shows teens the ugly side of one of life's toughest temptations.

Awesome book and author!,

This review is from: The Dirt on Drugs: A Dateable Book (Dirt Series) (Paperback)
I own multiple copies of all four of Justin Lookadoo's "dirt" series books, as well as his other "datable" books. I do teen and college ministry at my church, and my students absolutely LOVE the crazy, hard hitting, in-your-face style of these books. The info is GREAT, and has helped MANY students work through issues with drugs, dating, sex, and breaking up. Justin is an awesome writer, knowing exactly how to make the info attractive to this age group. He's also an awesome conference speaker. I've met him and heard him captivate an audience of 80,000 at the Creation Festival. His work is changing lives, helping young people make decisions they won't regret later in life.

Justin Lookadoo--a clueless moron,
This review is from: The Dirt on Drugs: A Dateable Book (Dirt Series) (Paperback)
I don't even own this book, I read it at a walmart while shopping one day and it is so ridiculous I actually took pictures of some of the pages with my cellphone to laugh at with friends. This guy is so naive it's really quite funny. Don't buy this book, it is the most non-informational piece of trash I've seen on the subject of drugs out there. There are some really good informational books out there. Try Illegal Drugs by Paul M. Gahlinger PHD (search for it on Amazon) It's the best book I've seen out there on the subject.
Oh and if this is the author Justin Lookadoo reading this review: Don't worry, everyone has a talent. Maybe writing just isn't yours...Or maybe you should write about things you have knowledge or experience about. That might bring you bigger success.
