This is the home page of author and documentary filmmaker Martin Torgoff, whose most recent book, Can't Find My Way Home: America in the Great Stoned Age, 1945-2000 (Simon & Schuster, 2004), is an epic work about the American experience of illicit drugs that combines autobiography, oral history, journalism, and narrative cultural history.

This website features a biography, a background piece on the book, excerpts, outtakes (pieces left out of the book that the author will post over time), and a blog. Comments and queries can be sent directly to the author via e-mail. The book itself can be purchased online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Diesel E-Books (click on the links on the left).

In the summer of 2006, VH1 first broadcast the four-part documentary series, "The Drug Years," which was based on this book, a co-production of the Sundance Channel that featured Torgoff as Writer/Consulting Producer and a major on-camera commentator; the show has now been seen by an audience of over 150 million people.
