H is some powerful stuff. I really really do feel more compassion for him, knowing this. Look how many people got hooked on H even after knowing how addictive it was. And he didn't know! Oh, that is so sad!

An amazing book about this is Wonderland Avenue by Danny Sugerman. It's in my top 10 fav books of all time. It's a very fun read, but has some incredible redeeming value too. Highly recommended!

Anyway, in the book Danny tells of his first heroin experience. It really does explain how someone like Crowley could have gotten hooked.

Coke, in itself, can really mess someone up. I did it when I was a teenager - real cocaine not these new hybrid things they have now - and it's not even much of a high. It's very subtle. But 20 minutes later, if I didn't have more, I was extremely irritable.

Coke's a tough mistress. I'm glad it was prohibitively expensive at the time and I never did it much after that.

Relating back to Crowley, who knows how much of his 'edgy' personality had to do with the drugs?
