Some Vagaries of Hashish a Story of Drugs in Snow Hill
The narrator recalls a past in Snow Hill Greene County where Dr. Galloway recounts a hashish experiment with Ed Aboriton and Guy Lovejoy. Hashish from Cannabis Indica is described as an East Indian confection used like liquor. The tale covers the two men taking doses, Guy’s wild antics, creativity, and eventual sleep after a chaotic session at the old Dail hotel. The piece blends local reminiscence with drug anecdote and a humorous yet cautionary note on experiments with Indian hemp.
