Naked Lunch (2001)
“Dear Doctor, Thanks for your letter. I enclose that article on the effects of various drugs I have used. I do not know if it is suitable for your publication. I have no objection to my name being used.
No difficulty with drinking. No desire to use any drug. General health excellent. Please give my regards to Mr—. I use his system of exercises daily with excellent results.
I have been thinking of writing a book on narcotic drugs if I could find a suitable collaborator to handle the technical end....
Yours, WILLIAM BURROUGHS.
The use of opium and opium derivatives leads to a state that defines limits and describes ‘addiction’ – (The term is loosely used to indicate anything one is used to or wants. We speak of addiction to candy, coffee, tobacco, warm weather, television, detective stories, crossword puzzles). So misapplied the term loses any useful precision of meaning. The use of morphine leads to a metabolic dependence on morphine. Morphine becomes a biologic need like water and the user may die if he is suddenly deprived of it.MoreLess
