- Subject: Weil: HASH OD
-
- Hey all! I just read THE NATURAL MIND by Andrew Weil. Although it dealt
- with ACID and MARIJUANA too much for my tastes, I typed up some EXCERPTS
- that I thought you'd like.

-
- In 1968, when I was studying marihuana in Boston, I deliberately consumed an
- overdose (6 grams) of potent hashish in order to experience this reaction.
- I took it orally, under observation, and kept notes as long as I was able.
- The effects of the drug were felt within forty minutes and were pleasant but
- strong for about a half-hour. Thereafter, things became quite confusing. I
- could not understand what was said to me, felt physically sick, and soon was
- unfit to do anything but lie in bed and wait for morning. Auditory
- hallucinations were prominent, especially threatening voices that rose in
- volume to a crescendo, the faded out. For about twelve hours I remained in
- a stage of consciousness between sleeping and waking, marked by vivid
- nightmares. Lucid intervals were rare; for much of the time I did not know
- where I was, even thinking I was six years old and sick from measles. By
- morning, most of the worst symptoms had disappeared, but I had a powerful
- hangover that left me prostrate for another twenty-four hours. I would not
- willingly repeat the experience.
