“I turn, I twist, I twirl. I melt, I fade, I dissolve. No diaphanous cloud is so light and airy as I. I admire the ease with which I float. My gracefulness fills me with delight. My body is not subject to the law of gravitation. I sail dreamily along, lost in exquisite intoxication.”
-By Victor Robinson, from ‘An Essay on Hasheesh: Including Observations and Experiments’, 1912
