Pabst, actually. And no, he doesn't.

But I know some drug users who don't fit the stereotype, either.

I don't doubt that he used, he just really exaggerated the consequences of his usage. He was actually one of the people targeted in a campus drug task force back when he was in college (he was a small-time coke dealer). That part was true. But the FBI wasn't at all involved. He said he was accosted by an FBI agent over that whole thing. The Smoking Gun talked with the cop who headed the task force, and he said he'd never worked with the FBI in his entire life, but that yes, James Frey was one of the more minor target in their investigation.

He was probably just selling coke for the ladies....that's usually it with the small timers, isn't it?

Druggy! j/k I guess I do know people too that don't fit a stereotype, but I think you can still kinda tell. But then I'm all squeaky clean so I don't know much. O;)

Does anyone watch the show WEEDS about a suburban housewife who sells pot? I've watched it a couple of times, it's a good show.

I think James Frey is probably kicking himself about the truth of the book. The way he's acting though, is complete denial that he did anything wrong. He's a pathological liar.

I'm sure having the book on a show like Oprah didn't help his sham. It kinda blew up in his face.
