1 of my exs is obsessed with this story... she was telling me that she read somewhere that theres rumours that the original writter was a pediphile and that is why alice is contantly running in the story... because she is running away from him... i saw a online story about him saying that he would convince parents to let him take nude pics of there children... i guess back then ppl didnt think of sexual preditors the same as they do now
and supposidly the original edition of the story has a detication page with a picture of the girl that inspired the story... kinda creepy thought hu |

Here is why:
First you have a catipilliar who smokes out of a hooka(thats a giant pipe you use to smoke marijuana out of)
Its a drug trip story. |
hookah is actually used mostly to smoke shisha, which is a special flavoured tobacco. besides that, it does give you a buzz thats up there with low-quality weed. |

The imaginative characters and stories are a product of drug. It is believed he took LSD. The writer used drugs when he wrote this story, suggesting that a drug, not writer's fertile imagination was responsible for these creative literary works. |
A drug is inanimate and has no imagination of its own. Saying that a drug is responsible for a story's creation is like saying a cookie sheet is responsible for chocolate chip cookies. |

| i'm almost positive that this story was written while the author was high. so i'm going to go out on a limb and say that yes, this is a drug story. |

Poor rationale.
The slang White Rabbit did not exist for cocaine until well after Alice in Wonderland's initial publishing. Some people even speculate that the slang was derived from the character in the book. Hookah's are traditionally used for tobacco, as someone pointed out, as well as opium, with which Carrol was well acquainted.
Finally, most of the experiences Alice had that could be drug references are not from Alice in Wonderland, but rather the follow up novel, Alice through the Looking Glass.
I'd love to see where you read speculation that Carrol was on LSD when he wrote the story. |

considering LSD wasn't invented until 1938, me too. |

Exactly what I was thinking, though I couldn't come up with an exact date. This poster may have just discovered psychadelic drugs. I recommend full perusal of literature and never stopping the act of reading. |

there are novels written about this and how many cartoons and fairy tails and books are written on drugs.
most famous one that i've read is about Vinnie the Pooh.
Pooh - a pothead hence always hungry (munchies)
Piglette - being the best friend of Pooh also a stoner however always paranoid (a bad side effect of bud).
the rabbit - clearly grows 'shrooms. HELLO!
Ayor (sp? lol) the donkey - an alcoholic.
and the human kid (his name escapes me right now i think Robinson??) is clearly a homosexual. |
