About Me
Im an author. I like to write and have written three books, two of which are "Can You Pass the Acid Test?: A History of the Drug and Sex Counterculture and Its Censorship in the 20th Century," available at Amazon.com, and "Memoirs Of A Drugged-up, Sex-crazed Yippie," also available at Amazon.com. , Memoirs takes the reader through the life of a 1970s counter-culture drug user. Mark Spies goes from casual pot smoking to habitual use of pharmaceutical narcotics and cocaine. Due to the changing sexual attitudes, Spies has several unconventional sexual encounters. The 1970s brought us the "Woodstock generation." There was a sense of idealism that developed at the beginning and died at the end of that decade. Many counter-culture books focus on the 1960s, yet there are plenty of events in the 1970s that deserve attention. Nixon's war in Vietnam and Cambodia dominated the news and affected America's youth. Nixon's war on drugs impacted the counter-culture life style. Then there was punk rock, disco, casual cocaine use and revolutions braking out around the world by 1979. It can be viewed at: It can be viewed at: MY PERSONAL WEBSITE: steveottosbooks.tk ottosbooks.tk ,or Otto's Drug Book Store .Can You Pass the Acid Test? is more of a resourse book and will come in handy for those who want to argue about America's drug laws. It is heavily researched and has some amazing information in it. It is political and serious. So it's a completely different book, but I think many readers will want to get a copy. For one thing it exposes the racism of drug laws. It also shows how the narcotics population has remained nearly unchanged since the early 1900s. Some great arguments against our "war on drugs" can be found in this book.Steve Otto is a free-lance writer, living in Maize, KS. He is the author of War on Drugs/ War on People, published by Ide House, 1995, an expose of governmental corruption connected with the “war on drugs;” and Memoirs of a Drugged-Up, Sex-Crazed Yippie, Authorhouse, 2005, a fictional look at the 1970s counter-culture. Otto has published articles nationally, in Contemporary Marxism, Paraplegia News and Vocational Biographies. In Kansas he has written for The Andover Journal, The Mt. Hope Clarion, the travel section of The Wichita Eagle, Kansas Works, and the alternative culture magazine Plethora. He is the past editor and publisher of two newspapers The Wichita Public Voice and The South Hutchinson Post Dispatch. During the 1980s, Otto worked as a reporter for The Clinton Daily Democrat and The St. Clair, in Missouri... This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5
