irc Relapse / snapshot [heavily redacted] of opiate & other drug use in North America

Cover of the first (1953) edition of "Junkie" by William S. Burroughs (using the pseudonym William Lee), an Ace double edition. (Ace was a cheap sci-fi paperback publisher, the only house he could find willing to print his expose about heroin addiction.) "Junkie" was paired with the memoirs of a US federal narcotics agent.

{Droog4} Penguin published the 50th Anniversary Scholarly Edition of Burroughs' "Junkie," that's way cool, really interesting; originally 1953 edition was a sleazy paperback from a sci-fi publisher and Burroughs was afraid to use his real name

{Droog4} titaniumket he was a family heir to the Burroughs adding-machine fortune, and when he got out of Harvard (he majored in the easiest thing he could find, English), it was the middle of the Depression, but his family monthly check took all his money problems away, so he immediately went to Greenwich Village and started shooting up
* MC900MeterJesus invites you to join #vagin-sauvage

{Droog4} oh yeah that was the unfortunate little incident, that's when he had to flee to North Africa, to a city that sorta had no laws or extradition
{titaniumgrl} wasnt he bisexual or gay
{titaniumgrl} even
{Tripltz} TightVNC is a nice program (=
{Droog4} well that was why he went to Greenwich Village after college, and then to Mexico City, and then North Africa -- USA in the 1950s was a little uncomfortable for bi/gay ppl
{titaniumgrl} makes sense
{Droog4} it ain't exactly Utopian Tolerant Paradise today
{Droog4} there was a Louisiana governor, Edwards, mega-popular, the day before an election he told reporters,

"I could not lose unless I was caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."

{toddmurder} I want a girl
{Droog4} that's really cruel and heartless
