...thus changed their lives forever. Detractors, many of them former hippies themselves, maintain that the religious turn-on is spurious, that true enlightenment can only come through "natural" means, the meditations and mystical experiences common to every religion in history. Still, in its variety and virulence, the hippie pharmacopoeia is the subculture's most valued possession (though...
...newest item in the pharmacopoeia is a concoction called STP, apparently named after the gasoline additive ("It makes your motor run better," say hippies). Similar to a chemical-warfare product code-named "BZ," STP can produce a 72-hour trip-up to six times the length of an LSD voyage-and generates the "blinding white light" of hallucinatory omniscience that many hippies claim is the be-all and end-all of the drug experience.

By computing all the possible combinations of these, Dr. Sussman arrived at the startling figure of 57.6 million different kinds of people distinguishable by telltale proteins in their blood. Because there undoubtedly are still other...
...been so damaged and diluted that they had to replace it all by transfusion. They cut a hole in Roger's neck to pass a tube down his windpipe, and through this they extracted more vomit. The boy's kidneys were not working. He received a whole pharmacopoeia of drugs. He had to be fed intravenously for a week...
