| Publisher Description: Before the United Kingdom's Dangerous Drugs Act of 1920, many of today's illicit substances, including cocaine, were readily available in British pharmacies as over-the-counter remedies, either in pure form or as an active ingredient in any number of cure-alls. During this time, Aleister Crowley ingested a variety of mind-altering drugs and wrote about his experiences in essays published in the magazine The International, where he argued for "constructive morality" in place of the new anti-narcotics legislation which he deemed repressive. Essays On Intoxication from Aiwass Books presents the full collection of these writings together for the first time in one volume: The Psychology of Hashish, Cocaine, Absinthe the Green Goddess, The Drug Panic, The Great Drug Delusion and Ethyl Oxide. |
