      In 1857, a remarkable account emerged detailing the regular consumption of hashish, which quickly became a sensation. The student Fitz Hugh Ludlow documents in a personal experiment the physical and psychological effects of hashish, illustrating how drug use becomes a precarious balance between heaven and hell. He compellingly describes how the splendor of the landscapes he traverses in his drug-induced fantasies is gradually overshadowed by the horror of his hallucinations in the realms of death and madness. This is an impressive document filled with linguistic power and intensity.
