people talk about "experimenting" but they dont record their results and they aren't interested in scientific rigour, only folk romantic rebelliousness, hedonism etc. and when it ends in brain damage, misery, death, destruction, crime, poverty etc. they still refuse to think or seek the truth.
you're being harvested for profit by other people, we all are, but drugs are the worst way.

This is excellent. Yes. I feel the same way. I still know people who talk about drugs like this. It's infuriating. As soon as something fucks with your neurotransmitters, you start to act differently. I don't care how many times you've driven on mushrooms, if you think you're safe doing it you're a goddamn fool.
Young people are the worst about this shit. Somewhere around age 20-22 they become the world's foremost authority on psychopharmacology, and they proudly lecture to anyone who will listen about what they've "know" from experience, and what they've read on Erowid, and it never occurs to them that what they're talking about might be more complex than what their dorm experiments have revealed to them.
