The list of famous drug addicts is pretty immense...includes some incredible
writers, musicians, artists, etc...Alice in Wonderland would never have been
written if it weren't for opium, Freud had a coke habit, in general geniuses
are pretty fucked up...either drugs or mental problems. So yes, I do suppose
we benefit from the suffering of others if you want to look at it that way.

Heroin addiction honorable...I would never have thought to say something
like that. I have no sympathy for drug addicts, because (for the most part)
they choose to make that first step...I mean, how fucking stupid do you have
to be to shoot one of the most addictive substances in the world straight
into your veins? I'm sorry, but we *all* have choices, *all* the time...and
people have to be responsible for those choices.

Like I said...people have choices to make. While I may happen to think you
have to be dumb as a post to shoot heroin, that's totally someone's
choice...just like it's your choice to jump out of an airplane with a paper
bag as a parachute or go bungee jumping without measuring the rope. Drugs
are unhealthy...everything from caffeine and nicotine to crack...and it's
the rare individual who can honestly say their life has been improved and
happier through drugs.
And yes, I do drugs. I smoke marijuana every once in a while, and a few
years back I would doubtlessly still be coming down from an LSD binge at
12:45 on a Saturday afternoon. I've tried pretty much everything that I was
willing to risk putting in my body...and having come out the other side of
that, I think I have a little bit of leeway to say that drugs are terribly
unhealthy, and that people should not do them as often as they do. If that
counts as looking down on people, so be it.
