Someday after my mid-life crisis when I have taken a bit of all the drugs there are to take and find myself pretty much the same, I will no longer have an itch to read books about drugs and see if they are persuasive either for or against. In the main, the swing of the argument doesn't matter because, books about drugs are boring, because they are self-absorbed. The End.

The more forgetful of himself the listener is, the deeper the thing heard is engraved in him.

what if Vice got a hold of your literary estate? not really a book, and not really intended for publication by the author, this volume collects all of the things your fave Walter Benjamin had to say on drugs. While it turns out to be more than you might expect, it’s mostly notes that he and his buddies wrote, ultimately concluding in two published articles that take piecemeal from those notes. While this may hold value for a scholar of Benjamin or of the history of drug literature, it doesn’t hold together on its own. Ultimately, his observations were probably more novel in their own time, so unless you’re interesting in a critical theorist pointing his finger into the air and claiming it’s a watch tower for two hours, your energies are best directed elsewhere
