Dear Die-ary... (Drugs)

If you read my title, and understood. Then you're awesome.
Moving on.

Drugs.

The word itself is taboo before the eyes of the nation. But is there, right underneath the coating.

If I may touch on the drug market for a second here. Each year, I've seen a different set of commercials on TV. I could watch higher trafficked local channels or even ones like Nick At Night and see drug commercials. The commercials for the sleep aids and sexual enhancements. Or how about the ones they don't advertise like the others. Ritalin for example.

You do realize, that most people today are suffering from severe insomnia. Their everyday lives have driven them over the edge of peacefulness, and their brains continue to run long into the night. I know, simply because I am one. Say La vi. The past 5 commercials for drugs I've seen have been for 3 different sleep-aid medications. Sleep peacefully. Awake fully functional, and ready to go. I guess Nyquil just doesn't do it for people anymore.

Several years ago, it was Viagra. The hottest drug, (And still remains to be, massively selling) on the market at the time. Why? Well because it plays upon the fear of most men, mainly American. The ability to sexually perform not just for a long time, but with vigor! Something that, according to my older friends you lose. And of course, if you can't perform your woman will find someone who will. More and more people have come to rely on this market for their sex.
Just like more and more people will begin to rely on these prescriptions to sleep.

Think about all of those things you feel, every emotion in your brain and how stressful and tiring they get. How they eat away at your thoughts, and affect your performance daily. What if they could all go away, and you could have the stability you've always wanted? Who could resist something like that. More and more people will begin to rely on these prescriptions to live.

Business men will pop a Ritalin and a Valium to go into work.
Work efficiently and even all day long.
Come home, eat.
Pop a sleep-aid and good night until tomorrow.

Simple. Easy. Effective.
It generates money at the top, a happy thriving company all together. Everybody wins.

Too bad the world isn't as perfect as that. Or maybe it will be someday?
Getting high might just be the way to make it through your day. I know some people already practice this. And seem to be living happy, fulfilled lives. Too bad nothing is as perfect as that.

Illegal drugs, Where do I begin.
Illegal drugs are exploitable. Inexpensive. And totally unfair. Right?

Drug dealers hold the addiction card in their hand. Once they establish a customer, its as simple as a contract. That customer will come back. Again and again.
They give the person what they want, good times today, stupid ones tomorrow.
But it is that good time that will make the person come back for more.

Physical addiction aside, there is a mental addiction to everything. Everything from Pencil chewing to computer usage. And it is for this reason that the drug dealers are prosecuted.
They are using something that is an unfair advantage. Do you really believe that Pharmaceutical companies aren't holding that card? These are just sponsored drug dealers. Literally, by definition. Do they serve an important purpose for day to day life? Of Cource. I do not doubt that they save lives daily. But they are also hooking their client base for the next 20 years at the same time.

It's becoming more and more difficult for me to distinguish deviants and exploitation in this day and age. There is a double edged sword in everything. The real trouble is protecting yourself from the blade facing your way.

It doesn't matter what you're selling.
Washing machines.
Drugs.
Blowjobs.
As long as you don't fail, they'll keep coming back for more.

People will always come back for more if they know you have what they want.
They'll pay the price you want.
They'll be as vulnerable as a newborn.
They'll be as oblivious as you make them
