Ster, not necessarily the case. Its that their bodies are affected differently and/or they have become accustomed to it.
and they can sleep every day. And maybe every other day.
it def was a trp, he sees himself right? who knows it coulda been like SALVIA no idk
People freebase coke all the time.
dude he does say right as hes smoking it, that it no more SPEED that fueled the sixtys, remember and how its so sketchy looking i would bet hes smokin THE REAL MEANING OF DOPE
hes freebasing cocaine, to whoever said it isnt because the lawyer spilled it in the car, if you remember later in the hotel the lawyers feeding him coke off that huge knife...they get more drugs throughout the movie.
There's no question that Thompson did a lot of speed in his younger days - he claimed that it made him prematurely bald. But, I don't think that anybody smoked it in the time period that Fear & Loathing took place in. Some of the strongest amphetamine pills were called Black Beauties, and you could get them by prescription, or from dealers. Shooting or snorting methamphetamine was also common, and more dangerous than the pills. I have a feeling that Hunter stuck with pills.
Has oil was also around at that time, and glass pipes were used to smoke it. That could be the answer but as someone said, it was probably just hash.
`he also claimes that doing hallucinogens on a tropical island where alcohol was illegal made his go bald. he liked to tell little fibs.
It was DMT, it states this in the book.
That makes sense.Quote:

wow after reading this thread i should see the movie because i'd only heard the title and the general idea never this much detail. it sounds crazy.
its dmt, and thats why it gets all hallucionogenic and weird right after he hits it. if you notice theres a projector showing like tv static and stuff projected against him and the wall behind him and stuff..
and i dont think the couch actually levitated.
..anyways, they had a bong and stuff too, so i dont think it would have been hash anyways. but then again i have no idear.
but yeah read the book! its good.
Yeah they did.Quote:

He doesn't even mention what he is smoking in the book. I'm looking at it right now. In my book it's page 62. All he says is " I walked over to the TV set and turned it onto a dead channel-white noise at maximum decibels, a fine sound for sleeping, a powerful continuous hiss to drown out everything strange"
He doesn't mention the rum and hash until page 65 when he's telling a story and says "Forget LSD I thought, look what it's done to that poor bastard. So I stuck with hash and rum for another six months or so, until..."
For Thompson's terminology, I don't think that most of these words match the drugs he was referring to in the story. By "downers" he was probably talking about barbiturates (Seconal, etc.), or Chlorpromazine (anti-psychotics like Thorazine, etc.) which he'd have been more likely to have than benzodiazepine products, which are comparatively weak. The only one on the list I'd agree with is "uppers" for amphetamines.Quote:

Everybody in those days called Seconals "downs", or "Reds". There were others, but it's not necessary to name them. Thompson was more of a spaced-out type guy. His use of ups and downs was more utilitarian than pleasure-orientated.
