Did anyone ever trip like in the Therry Gilliam masterpiece? I did some pretty sick things while stoned, but never has it gone close to the destruction seen in this movie.

I quite like the movie but the book is much better, Its written by Hunter S. Thompson who is a living genius. His works on America and its political system are amazing.
He's a real hero of mine and I really think the world will be a sader place when he passes away.
I highly recomend that you go out and buy all of his books now, they are really worth a read. They are much more than the usual druggie nonsence.
If theres a drug out there HST has done it and done it in excess.
Fear and loathing is fiction, and to my knowlege the only other novel that he has done is 'The Rum Diary' which is a stunning piece of fiction, possibly one of the most touching and harrowing works I've ever read, its nothing like fear and loathing though.
