Publisher: Dodd, Mead

Breathe deeply — whether it's the joint you're smoking or all the improbabilities you're also asked to swallow in a mystery-morality demonstration of the psychoactive drugs. Carol and her boy friend Danny (he starts out on marijuana — goes on to worse) leave for Mexico where she is looking for her father. She finds him — in bad shape over the LSD death of a student — and this chainsmokes its way through portents of danger, witchcraft and the dangers of narcotics. For all the modernizing talk about Fuzz and Potions (the pill) there are older manifestations — a pale blue chiffon dress in a Grecian tunic style.
