Drug Addiction

Guess who's baaaaackk.......ME!!! Buhahahahaha. You know, recently I have been asking myself. "Nnamdi, why do you always have to start your blog entries in some strange and satirical manneer." (kuhuhuhu, #Supu!). And I reply myself with the proverbial gesture of utmost IDK-ishness ¯\(°_o)/¯. 
I am also hoping at this point some of you won't be making assumptions that I actually have regular conversations with myself. Cos if you did, you would be absolutely correct, lol. I do. And I'd like to think other people do too. Yes? Another thing I think people like to do alot is....#drumrollplease. yes, you guess it, take drugs (common bro. it should have been obvious by now I was going to start talking about drugs sooner or later). Funny thing is, i aint even talking about the kind that bus conductors take that makes them forget you have actually given them money and they start asking you with their thick, croaky, and overtly-yoruba accented voices "Oga, Owo mi da". And you give him the "What have you been smoking?" "Are f*@king kidding me" "Abi you don dey madt" look in reply. Or Am I??? Hmmm, read more. I dare you weak spirit to find out.

 So, you decided to take a peek into the mind of an angry man??? Heheheh.... here goes. 

Alright so I was making a bush #waka the other day (don't ask), and I had a lot of time to reflect on some otherwise theoretically conspirational stuff (hehehe #supu2: Reloaded). I was thinking. why are drugs termed legal and others illegal. why is it that its ok to sell some drugs that contain minute amounts of cocaine and/or marijuana behind some super huge corporate name and then deny the sale of the main component of the drug on the street. And guess what I came up with, yeh you guessed it. Nothing. But lets reason this out for a minute. what is a drug?

A drug is a medicine or other substance which has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body. Ok, i guess the grammar means it is supposed to be used to change the physical state of its user. For better or for worse in some cases. Now lets look at some drugs that are ingested. Panadol cures headaches, and ganja inspires the mind to jonse. Hmmmm. . .It is often said that continued usage of a particular drug can cause dependency hence leading to addiction right. Drug addiction is a dependence on an illegal drug or a medication. Is it possible to say that most people are addicted to drugs. And I am not talking about Illegal drugs or narcotics. I am talking about the small stuff like panadol, cough syrup (i love this one, puts me to sleep on restless nights lol) and the most popular, orange flavoured vitamin C.

Another question that plagued my mind was, if we get all these effects from drug usage. Doesn't it mean that the body was jerked into response by the said drug? Or in lay mans terms, the drug caused the body to respond. In the way you get a high state of mind after smoking the #ganj. Doesn't that mean you can obtain the same high state of mind, WITHOUT the #ganj. In the same way, when the body is weak or sick. the drug just comes as a way to jump start the healing process because it doesn't really add anything new. #PlaceboEffect. 

Which brings me to my next boring line of thought. Do We Need Drugs? If our body can generate the healing that it needs. If it can generate a high state of mind on its own. Do we then needs drugs. The body was created by God to be a self sustaining system. No need for external inputs except for nutrients provided by nature in the way of foods and water. So whats this addiction all about.

I don't know. I have given myself a headache just thinking and typing this thing out. I have to say, its worth a thought tho. I'd like to know yours on this matter, or do I??? #gengengeeen #dramathememusic
