Newsgroups: alt.drugs From: jr@dutsh7.tudelft.nl (Jan Remmert Pels) Subject: nitrous and famous Message-ID: Date: Sat, 4 Sep 1993 03:22:39 GMT Hello everybody, I promised to send out this list I have, with well known people, using n2o (nitrous oxide) as a drug. I am sorry, but this list is somewhat Anglo-saxon-oriented, but what can you expect? The original list was published in 'The book of lists' by Wallechinsky et al. And it gives also lists of famous people usingcocaine, hash, morfine, LSD, mescaline heroine and opium. If anyone is interested, well, let me know or buy the book. It is a bit old, but still as interesting as an old 'Guiness book of records'.
