Well, if you open a book, you will also find a description of what I have told you; you will find a description that with a small amount of opium the person goes into delirium and so on, that with a large amount of opium the person first falls asleep and then his body is immediately destroyed. He dies after his face has turned red and his lips blue. And with habitual opium consumption, all these things also occur. But what do these people describe? They only describe the physical body, what happens there; they describe that the opium eater rattles, has convulsions, snores. They describe how the habitual opium eater loses weight, can no longer walk, becomes forgetful, and finally suffers a stroke because the memory destroys his brain; we have to look at it that way. All this is described, but it is all attributed to the physical body.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"X.

Er stirbt, nachdem er im Gesicht rot, an den Lippen blau geworden ist. Und beim gewohnheitsmäßigen Opiumgenuß kommen auch alle diese Dinge. Aber was beschreiben diese Leute?
