Life's Drugs - The Various Forms and Their Side Effects
drug ( P ) Pronunciation Key (drg) n. - A substance, affecting the central nervous system, causing changes in behavior and often addiction.
The following are all drugs: Knowledge, Money, Power, Sex. We live and breathe them. I, for one, would like to take a moment and admit we have a problem. It is, as they say - the first step.
Love: Perhaps this is my drug of choice. I've only tried it a couple of times. I'm not even sure if it was "the real" deal. I got it cheap in high school and it was probably laced with lust. Anyway, there are people in life who you decide can probably help you get this drug. You know they have it, but the price they ask is too high. Maybe they don't even want to share it with you because you have to be on some elite level. Yet deep down they really hate themselves for not doing the drug with you. This drug is illusive and confusing. Unlike most hallucinogens, this drug does the opposite of making you see things that aren't there. Although it is still in the hallucinogen family, it makes you not see things. You can forget things that would account for your normal state of mind because the drug makes you feel as if it is more important than those things. Your little world is clouded by the high; you always want to feel like your on this drug, even if you really aren't. A person can seem like someone they're not until the drug wears off, then you start to realize you were wearing a form of emotional drug goggles that should come with a hazard label. Love, when mixed with alcohol, can be socially lethal and cause various side effects. You get the drug from your "dealer", however you may be theirs or someone elses dealer as well - no one likes to do their own drugs. People who are mutually addicted live in a state of drug induced euphoria which also causes side effects dealing mostly with moodiness and alternated states of the high. Love can wear off if over-used and often addicts find new forms of the drug. Mutually addicted people usually lose friends who are not users and find it hard to be socially accepted once they kick the habit. Your dealer may not care if you use or not, he or she may just like the fact that you get it from them. It makes their product price higher to themselves and for other potential users. Often a dealer will withhold the drug from their users to create supply and demand, or to see them squirm. If the user seems edgy or is so addicted that its dangerous to be around them, the dealer will usually turn off their phone for a few days hoping the user will find a new dealer or quit cold turkey. Other times, some users abstain from use, and the dealer may become upset that their customer is leaving, especially if the user finds a new dealer. The dealers product is no longer in demand, so they themselves use up their last bit of supply and start looking for their old user, maybe he or she has some they can get for them. It really is just so sad. But once you rid yourself from this drug, you can live in a world where you enjoy less concentrated drugs. The caffeinated cynicism or muscle relaxing cockiness at a bar - these drugs are tollerable. Don’t attempt to get hooked on another drug to take the place of love. Other drugs have less side effects but may be more addicting (i.e. lust etc.). More on drugs coming soon ..
