Banality meets pathology in a tragic duet.

Apropos of your take on psychochemistrionics -

A state of peace is achieved by some few, after decades of meditation, introspection of the sources of all those noisy little 'i's typically running around loose in the jelloware.

A line of (untoxified/cut) heroin can produce a similar state. But you can't *stay" there on ez-chemical short-cuts.

I'm glad I tried a line of h. on a couple occasions -- and I can see its massive Appeal. And why it does *not* belong anywhere near the -?- "I want all the Good stuff and I want it NOW - on credit / or free" mass-consumption no-effort no-brains personality.

(I also had the thought, then.. that -- for that extreme rarity in a culture (and especially: This one), "the Healthy Functioning Human Being" -- h. would have a salubrious effect upon overall mentation, performance, even 'happiness' -- if indulged say, 3x 4x? a year.)



Of course - such usage would reduce US demand to ~ a couple kilos a year?
I suspect that would be sufficient for the Qualifiers (?) -- and how would you find those?
They mostly keep quiet; hope not to be Noticed by evangelists and other manic busybodies we nurture here.
