The original drug memoir--a true 19th-century account of the
pleasures and pains of addiction
Once upon a time, opium, the main ingredient in heroin, was easily
available over the chemist's counter. The secret of happiness,
about which philosophers have disputed for so many ages, could be
bought for a penny, and carried in the waistcoat pocket--portable
ecstasies could be corked up in a pint bottle.""Paradise? So
thought Thomas de Quincey, but he soon discovered that "nobody will
laugh long who deals much with opium."
