A frightening indictment of the dangers of drug abuse and the consequences of other people's actions, this personal account describes in detail what it was like to be caught up in this hallucinatory hell - from semi-consciousness to long-term rehabilitation in various psychiatric wards.
In February 1996, 16-year-old James Fountain was a normal, bright, hardworking schoolboy who was keen on rugby and cricket. Where he stood out from the crowd, however, was his vocal criticism of drug use among his peers. At a post mock-GCSE party, James' drink was spiked with LSD and for the next three months he was to find himself in a tailspin of drug induced psychosis that almost cost him his life. This highly-charged personal account describes in detail what it was like to be caught up in this hallucinatory hell - from semi-consciousness to long-term rehabilitation in various psychiatric wards. "Out of Time" is a frightening indictment of the dangers of drug abuse and the consequences of other people's actions. It will be a wake-up call to a hedonistic generation and offers an invaluable tale of triumph over adversity.
