“We had 2 bags of grass. 75 pellets of mescaline. 5 sheets of high powered blotter acid. A salt shaker half full of cocaine. And a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers. Also, a quart of Tequila, a quart of Rum, a case of Budweiser and a pint of raw Ether and 2 dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the Ether. Nothing in the world more helpless, irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an Ether binge, and I knew we’d get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.” - Raul Duke - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson
