nembies, bennies, & goof balls * 1
    #14265746 - 04/10/11 06:52 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

been reading william s burrough's.
he references the substances "nembies" "bennies" & "goof balls",
it seems like some oldskool slang. does anyone know what these are?
he also refers to marijuana as "Tea".
his ranting about disliking "Tea-Heads", is quite humerous.

as for "bennies", i was thinking Benzedrine Inhalers,
but at times it seems that he is referring to using both at once.
so they seem to be two different separate substances.

as far as "goof balls" go, my first thought is "Footballs" (xanax)
but i know they didnt use that drug yet, so maybe Quaaludes, or Valium's.. black beauties?

nembies = phenobarbital
bennies = benzedrine tablets; benny = benzedrine
goofballs = barbiturates in general

You been reading Junkie?  I just found a free online version here; not a bad read at all so far.  I liked his book Naked Lunch too but that one rambles significantly more and is somewhat permeated with unnecessary (IMO) homoeroticism.  :lol:

And it's really a shame that barbiturates/quaaludes are no longer on the black market... I've always wanted to try 'em.

my mum is an imigrant, and devout religious. but i remember hearing my father talk about Quaaludes, and how they were fun while they were here.
another drug came out or something and replaced it. and the Pharm company stopped manufacturing them. i heard it was Prozac. but i cant confirm.
im sure it could be easily looked up. but i dont feel like it.

its a shame, i wonder if anyone ever kept any Quaaludes either by accident, or as a collectors item. each drug has a shelf life so i doubt
they would be potent, but neat to have non-the-less :happyheart:
it would be funny to see them on eBay as a collectors item or something, haha in plastic as a "keychain"

i tried to do this with the old OC 80's. i wanted to keep one as a collector item.. but i just loved them way to much
:oc80mg:

Pick up a copy of On the Road: The Original Scroll by Jack Kerouac. It's a pretty interesting glimpse back into the life of beats. Plus it is rumored that Kerouac actually wrote the original scroll in 3 weeks on benzedrine, though he claims it was written only on coffee.

but yeah Junkie is one of my next reads. Burroughs is in On the Road for a bit. I think you'd really enjoy it.
