Résumé
Walter Benjamin experimented with hashish in scientific protocols between 1927 and 1931. He had plans to write a book on hashish, but this volume was never published. However, his writings allow us to realise that his consumption has constituted a real laboratory for his ideas, with an application of his dialectical method and his theory on resemblance. He identified aesthetic, philosophical, and political implications while, at the same time, emphasising the limits of drugs.
