New Age Journal, April 1976, reprinted with permission.

I am a taster of poisons. As you can imagine it is a profession which requires great skill. Actually I have to sense the poison, not taste it. Even a sip could be quite uncomfortable, especially with some of the crueler psychedelics.

I'm proud of my ability. I've never been sick a day in my life. Few in my line of work can make that claim.
