More From Barry Mann

I think the scariest addiction on this planet is to alcohol. because alcohol is a very addictive drug, and it ruins families, it ruins relationships. and it is socially acceptable, and it is easy to find. controlled substances, other drugs are more difficult to get, and it's a crime to... to buy them. but alcohol is everywhere. and if you are unfortunate enough to become addicted to it, it can be disastrous. and there is still a stigma attached to alcohol addiction, or addiction in general. it is perceived as... an addict is perceived as somebody of weak moral fiber
Thinking Moral Fiber Addiction
No, i don't do drugs anymore, either. but i'll tell you something about drugs. i used to do drugs, but i'll tell you something honestly about drugs, honestly, and i know it's not a very popular idea, you don't hear it very often anymore, but it is the truth: i had a great time doing drugs. sorry. never murdered anyone, never robbed anyone, never raped anyone, never beat anyone, never lost a job, a car, a house, a wife or kids, laughed my ass off, and went about my day.
Jobs Sorry Kids
We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.
War Thinking Past
Most of the so-called illegal drugs have vastly increased in use, despite billions of dollars spent suppressing them. i believe 750,000 americans are arrested every year for possession of cannabis. i mean that's 750, 000 lives damaged by that arrest process. it's a crazy, crazy system. it's playing into the system that the hallucinogens are grouped together with addictive drugs, which they are not. but addictive or not it's our responsibility as adults to make decisions and it's not the states' right to do that, in my opinion.
Crazy Believe Mean
You start doing the addictive behavior to feel good and then your receptors get overloaded with dopamine, then you stop doing the addictive thing and some of the receptors have shut down and you don't have enough dopamine to feel good. so then you feel bad and go back to the addictive behavior to get more dopamine. the strange thing is that it works with what we think of as uppers and downers and whatever you call gambling - sidewaysers.
Thinking Gambling Feel Good
The choice is not between drugs and no drugs, but between illegal drugs and legal drugs. until the 1920s drugs were legal, why not now? lots of people are on drugs anyway - it is called medication.
