Horror, Sleaze and Trash.

Richard Ramirez’s siblings were frequent drug users, and he would soon follow in their footsteps, smoking pot steadily from the time he was ten. At the age of 13, after witnessing Mike shoot his wife, he began experimenting with hallucinogens such as LSD, magic mushrooms, and peyote. High, he’d go out to the desert at night and hunt, imagining that he was in touch with Satan. The first year he moved to L.A., Richard became addicted to cocaine, or as he liked to call it, ‘’the devil’s dandruff’’. When author Philip Carlo asked Richard what he would compare the sense of pleasure cocaine gave him to, he replied, ‘’There is nothing…to me, anyway, that comes near it.’’ Richard described the powdered drug as an intense euphoric heat, a rush, a light tingling that goes to the brain.
