"Wilson took that process as his own marching orders, altering 
the consciousness of countless grateful readers of his 34 
books--from Sex, Drugs & Magick to the Schrodinger's Cat 
trilogy to Everything Is Under Control: An Encyclopedia of 
Conspiracy Theories--all written with the aid of that good 
old creative fuel, marijuana. He once told me about his 
process: "It's rather obsessive-compulsive, I think. I write 
the first draft straight, then rewrite stoned, then rewrite 
straight again, then rewrite stoned again, and so on, 
until I'm absolutely delighted with every sentence, or 
irate editors start reminding me about deadlines--
whichever comes first...."
