A journalistic work by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz—the famous, controversial Polish writer and artist, pen name "Witkacy"—in which he expresses his views on drug use and the states of consciousness that can be achieved through them. Known for creating art under the influence of intoxicating substances, Witkiewicz catalogs his personal experiences with each of the substances mentioned in the title. However, the author discourages the use of drugs, particularly alcohol and nicotine, and advocates for abstinence.
