drugs

You__e been smoking again, haven__ you? Your eyes look like road maps and you__e in full bastard mode.

Entheogens (or psychedelics, to be more historically correct) have now been recognized as the mother of our Western ecology and conservation movements, as well as the entire field of transpersonal psychology and our apparent desire to return to some firsthand spiritual and/or mystical understanding of G/d (rather than blindly accepting traditional religious dogma without an experiential basis.

Drug addicts are so funny that way. Just spinning around, lost in their own little world. Doing so much, accomplishing so little. How sad.

The message was clear for baby boomers everywhere: Kurt Cobain was not merely some rock 'n' roll icon who couldn't handle drugs. In ways that were important to recognize, he was every parent's child.

C'mon, let's go in my room and abuse drugs and stuff!

What is this thing? Did you make it?___ am a chemist, aren__ I?_ Laurence says.__ou own a meth-lab,_ Benjamin says. __hat does not qualify you as a chemist.

If I had to offer up a one sentence definition of addiction, I'd call it a form of mourning for the irrecoverable glories of the first time...addiction can show us what is deeply suspect about nostalgia. That drive to return to the past isn't an innocent one. It's about stopping your passage to the future, it's a symptom of fear of death, and the love of predictable experience. And the love of predictable experience, not the drug itself, is the major damage done to users.

I look in the jewelry box where Joanie found the drugs. She showed me a miniature Ziploc bag filled with a clear, hard rock.__hat is this?_ I said. I never did drugs, so I had no idea. Heroin? Cocaine? Crack? Ice? __hat is this?_ I screamed at Alex, who screamed back, __t__ not like I shoot it!__ plastic ballerina pops up and slowly twirls to a tinkling song whose sound is discordant and deformed. The pink satin liner is dirty, and other than a black pearl necklace, the box holds only rusty paper clips and rubber bands noosed with Alex__ dark hair. I see a note stuck to the mirror and pick up the jewelry box and move the ballerina aside. She twirls against my finger. The note says, I wouldn__ hide them in the same place twice.I let out a short breath through my nose. Good one, Alex. I close the jewelry box and shake my head, missing her tremendously. I wish she never went back to boarding school, and I don__ understand her sudden change of plans. What did they fight about? What could have been so bad?

Funny how someone can be so beautiful and totally fucked up at the same time.

I still get angry when older people assume that everyone in my generation, screws around. They're probably the same ones who think all kids use dope. It's true that we are more open than our parents but that just means we accept sex and talk about it. It doesn't mean we are all jumping into bed together.

Alphas, like Scarface, can be drug dealers, but it__ still a little grimy.

I bought a piece of God, ground to dust and mixed with alcohol in a glass bottle the colour of molasses.

Champagne and Benzedrine! Never again.

Carisoprodol. Comes in a white tablet like a big-ass vitamin, 350 mg of muscle liquefier for those tense, recovering athletes and furniture movers. Too much, and those relaxed muscles include your diaphragm, then your heart.

Everyone has a price, the important thing is to find out what it is.

I wanted to save myself from that drug that contaminates the body and veins and not from the other drug, you know that drug that enters through your eyes and your private area, the one that settles into your heart to screw it up, that damn drug that naive people call love. The stupid drug that__ just as dangerous and deadly as the one that you find on the streets wrapped up in little packages.

Funny thing about the monster. The worse he treats you, the more you love him.

I've been all over the place in all kinds of living situations. Due to the fact that my mind is my own worst enemy. In a way I am perpetually and permanently in a state of rehabilitation m in an attempt to rehabilitate from the shock of being born.Some people are too sensitive to withstand that.
