Drugs are for Everyone

If they didn't offer relief people wouldn't take them. Completely wrong. Caffeine offers improved alertness, improved recollection, improved cognition, and improved sensation. (Nicotine offers weight loss, which I guess isn't exactly worth it.)It's often posed to ethics students: "if you could take a drug with no side effects that would make you smarter, would you do it?" A certain kind of person always answers "no" as he takes a sip from a beverage that does exactly that. Our brains run on drugs, Panda. None of these drugs could have any effect on your whatsoever if there weren't already receptors for them in your brain cells. Why are those receptors present? For your body's own natural drugs. The drugs it's using to make you do some things and not do others. The drugs it uses to make you want to eat. To make you want to have sex.

I don't understand how someone could survey the vast world of coffees, wines, cigars, even the underground culture of cannabis varieties, and conclude that every person who uses a drug for any purpose is just a strung-out junkie after nothing but a fix. That's like saying that everyone who has ever had sex is a slut.

And easily lost. Symptoms of caffeine withdrawal are mild at worst and unnoticeable at best.It's practically the perfect drug, which is why it's in so many different things. I think they enjoy it for the flavor, for the ritual, for the companionship (smokers typically smoke socially), and for the buzz. You didn't ask why they enjoy it, though; you asked what those drugs offer us. If you can't understand simple sentences rendered in English, maybe you shouldn't make accusations about your opponents' ability to read? Why bother? You admitted you can't understand English.Sorry, I thought I was talking to someone interested in discussion. I'll go find a more rewarding use of my time.
