drugs

We're all about a responsible drug policy. Every time I do a drug, I write it down, so I can remember all the details. I haven't done that with weed, but I really don't consider weed a drug, considering it's 6,000 times safer than Aspirin.

Typing about drugs on dgoodness.blogspot.com got me to thinking about the book Molecules of Emotion that I read in 2001. It was a partial biography of Candace Pert who discovered the opiate receptor in the brain, subsequently proving a longstanding and evolutionarily "advantageous" connection/relationship that human beings have with drugs. In short- the reason why we get fucked up when we take drugs is because there are specific receptors for it in our brains- basically, our species has been drugged out this whole time (our 2 species have a historic symbiosis so strong, we have evolved in response to these substances). She wrote about mind body medicine- it's very inspiring to us!

The war on drugs is a joke. It's created an industry on both sides, and now too many people depend on that money. This means- deaths and overdoses are commonplace.
