Did you smoke pot when you were off lines but still a member in good standing ?
Did you smoke pot while on lines? (When William Burroughs was on lines at St. Hill, during the late 1960s, he began his day - at breakfast - smoking marijuana. When the C/S found out, Burroughs explained that he did not regard marijuana as a drug, and placed it in a category with coffee, tea, and tobacco. Somehow the matter was resolved and Burroughs continued with his Scientology study and processing.
From 1950 Dianetics, the Modern Science of Mental Health:
"Opium is less harmful [than alcohol], and marijuana is not only less physically harmful but also better in the action of keeping a neurotic producing. Phenobarbital does not dull the senses nearly as much and produces less after affect."
From a Philadelphia Doctorate course of 1952:
"You should be able to drink as much liqueur as you want, use the body in any way you want."
The last first hand account of Hubbard smoking a joint was during 1953 in Phoenix. Hubbard shared a joint with old timer Jana Morreillian. Hubbard, who smoked filterless mentholated KOOL cigarettes, did not like the taste.
According to Jana, the prohibition on drugs did not occur until the 1960s when Hubbard noticed that people using drugs resulted in reduced org income. Another old timer, Pam Kemp, gave Hubbard what became the Dianetic Drug RD, which was a cash cow (Hubbard explained that if one had used drugs, and they were not handled in processing, one was doomed), plus it made possible the collection of blackmail on Scientologists with lists of illegal drugs that they had used.
Hubbard had used drugs from amphetamines to sedatives. He also experimented with mescaline, which he may have obtained from his friend Aldous Huxley. In 1956, in a Professional Auditors Bulletin, Hubbard referred to Huxley's Doors of Perception, about Huxley's Mescaline trips, as a "good book."
Hubbard's main psychoactive substances, of course, were nicotine and alcohol.
