Dear Mr. Noor Din,

Your letter was certainly most interesting and I can
tell you that your friend’s thesis is partially correct.
Years ago I did not smoke hashish hut marijuana, perhaps so
much as 20 years I was truly enamoured of that mild drug
and used to smoke it three or four times a week. I had many
mental, spiritual and intellectual experiences upon it. I
think it would he fair to say that it changed the style of
my mind. In one year I went through the metamorphosis from
socialist to existentialist. Since then I have used it
sparingly and the bulk of my writing in these last two
decades has been done far from its influence, for I found I
might have something close to visions when I took it but was
unable to write a word afterward, indeed, lost much valuable
material through the intoxication. So let us say your friend
is half correct. It had influence on me, but is not with
me at present.

Please convey my good wishes to him and my personal ones
to you for your interesting letter.

::::::::::Sincerely,

::::::::::Norman Mailer
