Fitz Hugh Ludlow’s The Hasheesh Eater (Rutgers) was first published in 1857, and is now reprinted as another in Rutgers’ Subterranean Lives series.
Described as “the first full-length example of American drug literature,” this account is closely modelled on Thomas De Quincey’s Confessions of an English Opium- Eater, and has been republished regularly over the last century and a half (including some special “psychedelic” editions in the 1960s and ’70s).
