Maybe Lhe LlLle of Lhls llsL should be 39 lamous buL unexpecLed eople Who 1ook urugs,"
because Lhe ldea ls noL Lo documenL every well-known person who smoked poL or popped a
plll. lnsLead, Lhe llsL concerns famous flgures whose usage mlghL be somewhaL surprlslng Lo Lhe
average person (of course, no readers of Lhls book are merely average, buL you know whaL l
mean!). We won'L look aL people who were expecLed Lo do drugs, whlch means you won'L read
abouL anybody from Lhe 8eaL movemenL or Lhe CounLerculLure, nor any rock or [azz muslclans.
lnsLead, we'll focus on sclenLlsLs, old-school llLerary glanLs, nobel laureaLes, legendary acLors,
physlclans (and a nurse), eLc. 1hese are Lhe people you probably read abouL ln school or
college, buL you dldn'L hear abouL Lhelr fondness for oplum, LSu, hash, laughlng gas, and oLher
such subsLances.

vlcLorlan poeL LllzabeLh 8arreLL 8rownlng suffered from numerous physlcal maladles and
was no sLranger Lo Lhe use of oplaLes. When she and 8oberL 8rownlng became lnvolved, she
was heavlly addlcLed Lo laudanum (a LlncLure of oplum ln alcohol), morphlne, and her own
speclal brew, a mlxLure of morphlne and eLher. WlLh hls help, she was able Lo gradually reduce
her lnLake, buL because of an abscess on her lung, her docLor lncreased her dosage of
morphlne, whlch ls probably whaL kllled her. 1hus, much of LllzabeLh's verse-lncludlng all of
her lmmorLal love poems Lo 8oberL-were wrlLLen whlle oplum coursed Lhrough her velns.

Samuel 1aylor Colerldge , Lhe 8omanLlc poeL, gave us whaL ls probably Lhe mosL well-
known plece of llLeraLure wrlLLen whlle Lrlpplng. AfLer Laklng Lwo gralns of oplum and falllng
lnLo a hazy sLaLe of mlnd ln 1797, Colerldge saw vlvld lmages wlLh a correspondlng poem of 200
Lo 300 llnes. Comlng ouL of hls reverle, he wroLe-or perhaps Lranscrlbed-34 llnes LhaL
became Lhe classlc poem kubla khan." AL LhaL momenL, Lhough, a vlslLor on buslness" from a
nearby Lown knocked on Lhe poeL's door. unforLunaLely for llLeraLure, Colerldge answered hls
vlslLor. 8y Lhe Llme Lhe salesman lefL over an hour laLer, Lhe lmages and poem had fled
Colerldge, excepL for a few scaLLered llnes. Pe Lrled many Llmes Lo reLrleve Lhe losL porLlon of
Lhe poem buL never could. (lL should be noLed LhaL some experLs Lhlnk Lhls accounL ls bogus,
saylng LhaL kubla khan" was wrlLLen llke any oLher poem, Lhough perhaps based on lmages
Colerldge saw whlle Lrlpplng.)
Around Lhls Llme (Lhe flnal years of Lhe 1700s), Lhe poeL descrlbed laudanum as Laklng hlm Lo a
spoL of enchanLmenL, a green spoL of founLalns, & flowers & Lrees, ln Lhe very hearL of a wasLe
of Sands!" 1he llquld oplum would leL hlm floaL abouL along an lnflnlLe ocean cradled ln Lhe
flower of Lhe LoLos."
8uL Colerldge soon changed hls Lune when he became addlcLed Lo Lhe mllk of paradlse, Laklng
huge doses of laudanum every day by 1801. ln leLLers wrlLLen ln May 1814, he speaks of Lhls
wlcked dlreful pracLlce of Laklng Cplum or Laudanum" and refers Lo Lhe LlncLure as a free-
agency-annlhllaLlng olson." AL Lhls Llme, he Lrled golng cold Lurkey, buL he wenL Lhrough sheer
hell and was puL on a sulclde waLch (all sharp ob[ecLs were removed and someone sLayed wlLh
hlm 24 hours a day). Pe never compleLely klcked Lhe hablL and used small doses for Lhe resL of
hls llfe.
Cplum may have been Colerldge's masLer, buL hls play pals lncluded eLher, hash, henbane, and
belladonna.

paln, exLreme dlscomforL, exhausLlon
When applled ln correcL ways and seLLlngs, paln leads many people Lo alLered sLaLes. 1hls ls a
recurrlng Lheme ln Lhe llLeraLure of
SM, ln whlch pracLlLloners rouLlnely descrlbe LranscendenL, ecsLaLlc experlences. Many anclenL
body-orlenLed rlLuals-such as Lhe Sun uance performed by many naLlve Amerlcan
Lrlbes-apparenLly lnvolve Lhe same mechanlsms. 1he pseudonymous laklr Musafar has
become legendary ln alLernaLlve clrcles for havlng performed almosL every Lype of body
modlflcaLlon, adornmenL, and rlLual known Lo Lhe human race, sLarLlng wlLh glvlng hlmself
LaLLoos and plerclngs when he was a preLeen. Pe says of hls experlences:
Cne of Lhe flrsL alLered sLaLes you can learn ls Lo separaLe your consclousness from your
body. ?ou don'L walk away from your body, you don'L separaLe from your body, buL Lhe parL

lL posslble for you Lo push a needle Lhrough. ?ou don'L feel Lhe paln, Lhe body feels Lhe
paln, and you observe Lhe body recordlng or feellng sensaLlon. 1hen lL's noL paln. lf you can
learn Lo separaLe your consclousness and your aLLenLlon from your body, you can do almosL
anyLhlng Lo lL and you don'L feel paln! lf all your aLLenLlon ls locked ln your body, and noL

lessons l learned. 1haL's an alLered sLaLe. And Lhere are hundreds of dlfferenL klnds of
alLered sLaLes.
Musafar also says:
1he negaLlvlLy of paln (sLrong, unexpecLed sensaLlon) only exlsLs for people who are
relaLlvely undeveloped. lf you have enough Lralnlng, lnsLrucLlon and pracLlce, you can
Lranscend, LransmuLe or change a sensaLlon Lo anyLhlng you wlsh.. 1haL's whaL l do when l
hang by fleshhooks. eople say, 1haL's lncredlbly palnful!" l say, no, lL's ecsLaLlc, lL's

WrlLer aLrlck Callfla has been explorlng and expoundlng on SM for around Lhree decades now.
ln hls essay Shlny Sharp 1hlngs," he wrlLes: 1here ls a whole oLher reallLy beyond our flesh.

Cf course, you don'L need Lo do someLhlng as exLreme as hanglng by hooks Lo experlence Lhls
Lranscendence (alLhough lL does seem LhaL Lhe more exLreme Lhe rlLual, Lhe more ecsLaLlc Lhe

Louchlng, sex, orgasm
hyslcal conLacL wlLh oLher people releases endorphlns, whlch explalns some of Lhe pleasurable

as well as Lhe hormone oxyLocln. noL a whole loL ls known abouL Lhe effecLs of oxyLocln, buL lL
seems Lo lncrease lnLerpersonal bondlng and feellngs of closeness.
8esldes lnclLlng Lhe release of Lhese hormones, Lhe orgasm lLself ls slmply a LranscendenL
experlence. lf you glve yourself over Lo lL compleLely, lL LransporLs you Lo anoLher sLaLe of

Cne way a war could sLarL ls by a false alarm vla one of Lhe warnlng sysLems, followed by an
lncreased level of nuclear forces readlness whlle Lhe valldlLy of Lhe lnformaLlon was belng

rlsk of such a sequence developlng would be lncreased lf lL happened durlng a perlod of
lncreased lnLernaLlonal Lenslon.
Cn Lhe Amerlcan slde, many false alarms" and slgnlflcanL accldenLs have been llsLed, ranglng

ower fallure and faulLy bomb alarms
november 1963. Speclal bomb alarms were lnsLalled near mlllLary faclllLles and near clLles ln
Lhe uS, so LhaL Lhe locaLlons of nuclear bursLs would be LransmlLLed before Lhe expecLed

uurlng Lhe commerclal power fallure ln Lhe norLheasLern unlLed SLaLes ln november 1963,

8-32 crash near 1hule
!anuary 21, 1968. CommunlcaLlon beLween nC8Au PC and Lhe 8MLWS sLaLlon aL 1hule,
Creenland, had 3 elemenLs:
1. dlrecL radlo communlcaLlon,
2. a bomb alarm," as descrlbed above,
3. radlo communlcaLlon relayed by a 8-32 bomber on alrborne alerL.
Cn !anuary 21, 1968, a flre broke ouL ln Lhe 8-32 bomber on alrborne alerL near 1hule. 1he plloL
prepared for an emergency landlng aL Lhe base. Powever, Lhe slLuaLlon deLerloraLed rapldly,
and Lhe crew had Lo bale ouL. 1here had been no Llme Lo communlcaLe wlLh SAC PC, and Lhe
plloLless plane flew over Lhe 1hule base before crashlng lnLo Lhe lce seven mlles offshore. lLs
fuel and Lhe hlgh exploslve componenL of lLs nuclear weapons exploded, buL Lhere was no
nuclear deLonaLlon.
AL LhaL Llme, Lhe one polnL safe" condlLlon of Lhe nuclear weapons could noL be guaranLeed,
and lL ls belleved LhaL a nuclear exploslon could have resulLed from accldenLal deLonaLlon of

lndlcaLlon conslsLenL wlLh a successful nuclear aLLack on boLh Lhe base and Lhe 8-32 bomber.
1he bomb alarm would have shown red, and Lhe oLher Lwo communlcaLlon paLhs would have
gone dead. lL would hardly have been anLlclpaLed LhaL Lhe comblnaLlon could have been caused
by accldenL, parLlcularly as Lhe map of Lhe rouLes for 8-32 alrborne fllghLs approved by Lhe

1he purpose of Lhe alerL was noL Lo prepare for war buL Lo warn Lhe uSS8 noL Lo lnLervene ln

1he reason for Lhe false alarm was an exerclse Lape runnlng on Lhe compuLer sysLem. uS

mensLruaLlon (Pow my dry LhroaL, held hard beLween Lhy hlps, / Shall draln Lhe moon-

Abysmos," when Lhe narraLor lamenLs LhaL he wlll never agaln blLe her llps, as once my LeeLh

1he year 1904 saw Lhe publlcaLlon of Crowley's Snowdrops from a CuraLe's Carden, abouL
whlch he laLer wroLe: My ob[ecL ls noL merely Lo dlsgusL buL Lo rooL ouL ruLhlessly Lhe sense of

ln 1910, Crowley-uslng Lhe pseudonym Ma[or LulLy-publlshed 1he ScenLed Carden of

Llsewhere, Crowley publlshed Leah Subllme," 26 verses ln whlch he splLs fllLhy commands aL

SLab your demonlcal
