Richard, that is but a collection of rumour, gossip and slander. Which 
biographers say what?
If memory serves me right the source for the hash story was a Miss Wolff.
But why is the statement of this woman more trustworthy than the words of 
HPB?
Where are the facts?
Frank

Here is one somewhat unofficial source but I don't recommend that you
read it:

Biographers report that she swore fluently in at least three languages,
exhibited a violent temper, and was a hashish user..
