“There is a long-standing relationship between drug consumption and the cultural understanding of landscape. From Thomas De Quincey’s Confessions of an English Opium-Eater to the M25 raves of the late 1980s, new perspectives, new uses and new ideas of landscape come about through the way that drug use allows us to see. If we think of Jim Morrison driving into the Mojave Desert to take mescaline, the Beatles with a harmonium in a tree, the situationists hyped on varied substances wandering the backstreets of Paris, or Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters wiring up sound systems around a valley to distort perceptions of distance and proximity, we might be assembling an atlas of drug-induced landscape research.”
