The story follows it's protagonist, Raoul and his attorney, Dr. Gonzo, as they desend on Las Vegas in chase the American Dream through a drug-induced haze while ruminating on the failure of the 1960's counterculture movement.

Hunter S. Thompson is / was cool, but slightly too hallusinative for my taste. And his journalism... was sometimes just a bit too much of "new-journalism" IMHO.

I still swear on Good Ol´ Bill - Burroughs´ "Junkie" may describe the scene on 40´s to 60´s, but that scene never ever will change in it´s very essence and therefore, it´s a informative evergreen...

Just my (rusty & old) 2cts.

You may have liked it but its wasn't the same as the first movie "Fear and Loathing..." The Rum Diary" wasn't such a good movie.

 
Anything from the Fear and Loathing Letters collection is a pretty fascinating read. They are full of any letters/faxes that Hunter sent out between any given set of years.

For a biography type book nothing beats The Jokes Over by Ralph Steadman (hunters artist for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas)

Screwjack (Mescalito) is a pretty cool short story Hunter wrote while tripping on masculine at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, Ca / February of 1969 (which was also the inspiration for the Eagles song "Hotel California")
The 1991 first editions are super rare currently going for over $1,000 but Simon and Schuster later published it in 2000 in a more affordable mini hardback. It's also a chapter in Songs of the Doomed.

  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: @maoi thanks for the input tho I think I’d def go the route of using hcg if I do go w TrT
  16. L @ Layne_Cobain: @maoi nah no fear of needles and if it made me feel a lot better no fear of being on it long term as who knows if my t will even rebound after 5 years on methadone not sure if that’s the norm I hope so…the more I research the more it seems like the best choice is to just go for it with TrT rather than trying to “middle” with Enclomiphene especially now that i know it probably won’t work being on methadone altho I am tapering off 5 mg biweekly so that’ll take a while I’m at 95 now from 120
  17. moai @ moai: @Layne_Cobain the longer you’re on it without using HCG sometimes, (meaning years) the harder it will be to rebound if you do come off. But I’m with you, at only 22, I’ve abused myself to the point I may NEED trt. Not to mention all of the benefits
  18. moai @ moai: @Layne_Cobain You don’t seem it, but if you are the type that’s afraid of needles for life, don’t sweat it. I’m natty atm, but from what I hear A) you won’t want to come off and B) if you implement HCG every once in a while to your protocol, you have a better chance of being able to come off T completely and restore all (or most) of your natty production. Of course, no guarantees and it is dependent on the individual, genetics, compounds and duration of exposure, etc.
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: @tiquanunderwood when you began the Enclomiphene, were you already off opiates? Cause after further research I don’t think it’ll even work while still on methadone…I think trt with hcg to preserve fertility and ball size is the way to go for me. I just wanna feel better. Thanks for your input on the matter btw
