"Do what thou wilt" - a brief examination of Aleister Crowley

[Monica]

i dunno why people do coke. i get heroin.

It's a cleaner, more subtle high than speed (amphetamines).

I'm referring to the coke we had back in the 70s. Nowadays, when people say coke they are often referring to meth or crack, which are much nastier and much more addictive, they say.

I shudder to think of how nasty those new drugs must be. The stuff we did in the 70s was bad enough.

Crowley probably didn't know much about any of them. How alone he must have felt! A pioneer in consciousness, experimenting with powerful drugs. (shudder)
