The book explained that we don’t want to use to many chemicals to boost our endorphins, because when flooded with opiate drugs the brain might stop making its own natural opiates. And then once the drug is not used anymore, the brain will have no opiate.
Basically you are messing up your brain. So why do people who are perfectly happy and are just hanging out with their friends at a party use drugs? You know you are only causing harm to yourself. And why do people let their friends do it? You're only being a horrible, horrible friend. And when you push other people to do it- that's also a terrible (if not worse) friend. People need to stop acting like when you're young you should have fun and experience with drugs.
Does it not disturb you?
I still see it as gibberish-not sure why. Can you email it out to everyone so we can read the post? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy dear Zed,
ReplyDeleteI was reading this post again (stalkerish, I know) and I wanted to add another idea that popped into my head. Many people, unfortunately, are not as privileged as you and me to be in the greatest psychology class of all time (or nay for that matter). They do not even know that alcohol and drug abuse will cause the consequence you have listed above. Some know that there is some sort of consequence but they do not think that it is major and they think that it won’t occur unless someone takes a lot of drugs. This of course, brings forth the question of what really is a lot. There will always be different opinions. That is why so many say that they will just do a little bit of drugs in order not to be harmed, but to you and me that intake might be a tremendous amount. Lastly, I just want to tell you that there are so many people, even very bright and educated ones, who completely reject this scientific proof. They claim that there is no way such a consequence can happen. Most think that it will only happen when done too much which again brings us to the initial question of what is too much. Sometimes it happens for a lack of education, other times it is just because people are overconfident and refuse to be proven wrong.
