This book was first published in the USA in 1857 and was a very early account of the effects of hallucinogens. He describes in great detail the fantastic visions and distortions of reality he experienced after taking large doses of cannabis extract. He also warns of the unfortunate side-effects he experienced.  Despite these, the book stimulated a brief fashion for emulating him: clubs were formed in several cities to experiment with the effects.

Wanderlust and LSD: The Chronicles of a Countercultural Nomad by ShannonPerley9
1 part Ongoing
Wanderlust and LSD: The Chronicles of a Countercultural Nomad is a vivid and evocative memoir that takes readers on an unforgettable journey through the heart of 1960s America, a time when the world was on the brink of monumental change. Set against the backdrop of the Midwest, this coming-of-age tale chronicles the life of a rebellious young man growing up in the small town of Hilliard, Ohio-a place steeped in conformity and tradition. At the tender age of 15, the narrator finds himself at odds with the rigid expectations of society, his spirit stifled by a school system that values obedience over creativity. After being unjustly failed in the eighth grade for refusing to cut his hair, he begins to explore the burgeoning counterculture scene at Ohio State University's North High Street. Here, he encounters the rising tide of the hippie movement and the mind-expanding possibilities of LSD, setting the stage for a transformative summer. The story weaves through a series of vivid experiences-hitchhiking to underground concerts, experimenting with psychedelic drugs, and navigating the complex social dynamics of the time. As he delves deeper into the world of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, the young protagonist grapples with his identity, his place in a rapidly changing world, and the larger questions of freedom and rebellion. Wanderlust and LSD is not just a memoir of youthful defiance and self-discovery; it is a snapshot of a pivotal moment in American history. It captures the essence of a generation searching for meaning in the face of societal upheaval and the personal journey of one young man as he seeks to break free from the constraints of his upbringing and forge a new path. This is a story of rebellion, of the search for identity, and of the enduring quest for freedom in a world that often seems intent on denying it.

Fatal Madness

1 part Complete Mature

My first ever book I wrote three years ago. At some point, it was taken down by me because it had multiple grammar problems that needed to be fixed, but now it's official. Here is a description of the book: "Long ago, Alex was relaxing in his chair, drinking a glass of whiskey and smoking weed along with his friend, dreaming big. Things weren't so bad before, he had an average paid job, a nice custom chopper motorcycle, and a medium-sized apartment. He used to spend money faster than a walk in the park on expensive drinks and drugs until one day...And that one day changed his whole life, from being a party boy to a drug dealer selling high-end drugs on different turfs owned by other gangs in the city for a living. Some time later he met this girl, who turned out to be an assassin sent to kill him, but the hit turned out to be a huge failure. Now he got stuck with her to ride along, scared to death, on a long life trip to survival. After some time he finds himself becoming a hitman, taking contracts and so earning more money than he ever hoped in his life thanks to this girl for showing him this hidden world, full of blood and madness, where even one dollar can decide your fate, life or death, although things never end well...Or do they? They will have to find out after taking down the mafia and every gang... No mercy... It's just business. "
