Let's see if I can get this straight...
William Burroughs mentioned that the 11th (?) century Persian terrorist Hassan-i-Sabbah was at the root of both words, assassin and hashish. It seems that old Hassan drugged his neophyte Assassins and took them to a garden of earthly delights. He told them that it was Heaven, and if they bowed to his will and became good little Assassins they would return there one day. As I recall, most of the killings were done under the influence of hashish.
How's that for mind control?
