Since the 70s and right up to the present, Theo Villella has kept a hand in creative writing. While observing, commenting, and sometimes participating in the American drug culture, Mr. Villella has written hundreds of poems, short stories, essays, and journals. Often, he documented what he experienced, from pot to opioids and more recently, the Kratom he uses to manage chronic pain from injuries received in a severe car accident back when he was 19. In his first book "The War on Drugs", he tells his story in an intimate and compelling way that the reader will likely find thought provoking and interesting, considering the current importance of creating a dialog around the use of drugs.
