""An Essay on Hasheesh"" is a book written by Victor Robinson that explores the effects of the drug hasheesh (also known as hashish or cannabis) on the human mind and body. The book is divided into three parts: the first part provides a brief history of the drug and its use in various cultures throughout history, the second part describes the author's personal experiences with hasheesh, and the third part discusses the medical and psychological effects of the drug. Throughout the book, Robinson argues that hasheesh can have both positive and negative effects on the human psyche, and that its use should be carefully regulated and monitored. The book is a fascinating exploration of a controversial topic and provides valuable insights into the effects of drugs on the human mind and body.1925. In this extraordinary book, the author has penned for the reader whose interests lead him into the curious by-paths of life a most energetic picture of hasheesh, �������the winning rival of opium as a producer of visions of paradise.������� In turning these pages, the odor of the hemp fields again teases our nostrils, but we can never recapture the mood in which the manuscript was written. It is therefore given to the reader in its original form, as an expression of a lost rhapsodic period of our existence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
