Drug References
Let me be perfectly clear here, there is no proof (in his letters or his diaries or anywhere else) that Lewis Carroll did recreational drugs.
Certainly there were drug references in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and
these were picked up on by people with interests in that area, particularly in the late sixties.
You might ask yourself why students insist that he took drugs and why some teachers teach that he indulged.
That is not to say that Carroll never took Laudunum for a medical problem on the advice of a doctor, but if he felt that these
opened his mind or increased his awareness, why did he never mention it?
- Alice gets linked to the drug culture. No, Lewis Carroll did not use mind altering drugs to increase his creativity. He used his imagination. If you have one, it's better than drugs. If you don't, the drugs won't help you. With apologies to the late Timothy Leary.
- A couple of acid blotters
- Chemical Alice the band
- The Psychedelic Alice music of the drug culture
