>posting worst Hitchens

>best
>Trainspotting

Just skip straight to Hubert Selby Jr lad

Currently reading acid dreams and can confirm, the book is great, packed full of detail

Speaking of Hubert. How different is the novel of Requiem for a Dream compared to the movie.

I always see the comparison between the movie adaptation of Requiem and Trainspotting(and at least in my opinion RFAD adaptation decides to portray the story in a similar way to a horror movie, meanwhile Trainspotting to walks between a realistic way and something out of a music video).

In my country trainspotting is everything

>randomly pick out a modern memoir

Ernst Junger - Approaches: Drugs and Ecstatic Intoxication

Go read it.

here are a few good ones

>getting high? its not that great
You've never done acid or mdma i presume

Also, The Teachings of Don Juan, by Carlos Castenada and Junky, by Burroughs.

Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly is the most brilliant novel about drugs and drug user's I've read.

I've been one and I can tell that he really knows them.

Ale faza, ja pierdole.

Drugs arent very Veeky Forums, more /tv/

Some of the greatest works of literature have been written under the influence of drugs or were inspired by them. Burroughs, DeQuincy, Huxley, Kerouac...

Drugs are more Veeky Forums than /tv/

pussy

I was talking about enhancement thing. Drugs and reading does not match that perfectly. And your choices certainly arent greatest

Twat

You don't know much about the proper use of psychedelics. Their effect is not the same as the 'trippy' process while taking them.

>Burroughs, Kerouac
>some of the greatest works of literature

Man, how does being 19 feel? I've actually forgotten. Please become more well read, m8.

I've read quite a bit and Burroughs is underrated. Have you read him?

...

If you like the red hot chili peppers you will probably enjoy it

You're welcome OP...

Do you mean microdosing?

I once listened to an audiobook of The Sisters by James Joyce at 360 mcg of acid. It was on the comedown, but still it was awesome. I felt like I had a deeper understanding and I could imagine the everything in great detail.

I'm not but the original poster and I'm 24
I didn't mean to imply Burroughs was the height of literature, his work is just a really good example of drug-related literature

I agree with with exceptions of cannabis, maybe coffee and some other drugs that I believe do enhance reading

Drugs without a doubt enhance writing

It such a shame that most of his works are not translated.

>Drugs without a doubt enhance writing
This. This is not a secret, I hope.

In High School I smoked DMT before doing my SAT and I made a perfect score on the writing and reading comprehension portion.
