Burroughs writes about weed

From Junky, 1953

 

interesting. i haven't read anything by burroughs, but i think i'd like his style.

 

I love how they used to call it tea. I think I'm going to bring that back.

That was a pretty cool read. I'm going to roll up some tea now.

 

i think i'll join you!

 

Yeah man! Totally dug that too! So me & friends call it tea now too. Nice way to hint but not say it loud & clear

 

Junky is one of my favorite books. Burroughs actually wanted to call it Junk, but the publisher refused to publish it under that name. In the 50th anniversary edition the title is written out as JUNK followed by Burroughs' name followed by the letter Y. Sort of a posthumous vindication.
