Description:“a tradition of pharmo-picaresque literature that would find later practitioners in William Burroughs and Hunter S. Thompson.… Part genius, part madman, Ludlow lies halfway between Captain Ahab and P.T. Barnum, a kind of Mark Twain on hashish. There is a wonderful charm to his free-spirited, pseudoscientific openness as he makes his way into the shifting dunescapes of the world of hashish.” – Terence McKenna on Ludlow The Hasheesh Eater: being passages from the life of a Pythagorean is an autobiographical book by the American novelist and journalist Fitz Hugh Ludlow in which he describes his altered states of consciousness and philosophical flights of fancy while using a cannabis extract. Many pages are given over to detailed and elaborate descriptions of the visions he underwent after ingesting the drug. He also curiously talks of the perils of severe addiction although such a thing is not normally associated with cannabis use (some put this down to an overactive wish to align himself with his hero Thomas De Quincey and his experience with opium). The Hasheesh Eater was first published in 1857 and went through four editions in the late 1850s and early 1860s. In 1903, a publishing house put out a reprint of the original edition — and the last complete edition until 1970. This edition brings the original 1857 edition back to print, with small revisions. This edition also comes with an excerpt from The Opium Habit, with Suggestions as to the Remedy by Horace B. Day and Fitz Hugh Ludlow.
