Confusion

[kingvaillant]

I've found that if I need a mind-altering substance to have a good time, I'm doing something wrong. Lots of complex pseudophilosophical reasons for that, but that's a post for another time.

Cigarettes and alcohal may be leagalized, but I've seen them do 9999 points of damage to people, and 0 points of good.

Most consumers themselves have misconceptions on the substances they take. As a fact, nicotine in cigarettes is a stimulant. So it is quite funny when a smoker asks to go smoke to calm himself down...while he is actually stressing himself even more (biologically).

Point of this is that stress is all in the head. For example, when someone has an anxiety attack, paramedics will usually fake giving oxygen to the person and it will do the trick because the person's mind will believe she is breathing O2.

To me, it's like anything... if you abuse... you'll screw yourself up. There are also a few drugs that are way too dangerous to be made available, opium is one...which can make you stop breathing and block your air ducts (kind of throat collapse because the muscles relax too much). I don't take drugs personally, I don't find the need for it.
