It’s odd to think it reasonable to consider a solution to self inflicted addictions is drugs.

When I say self inflicted, I mean our society. I do think it’s unfortunate (and very unfair) that we have to expend so much energy not to be addicted. It’s such a sad outcome and driven by capitalistic consumerism.

I have a lot of concern for my kids. And I’m disgusted that grown adults are profiting from all of it.

It is actually takes much less energy to not be addicted. It takes a tremendous amount of energy to quit once addicted.

It is a lot like cigarettes in that way. Its not too hard to avoid smoking. Smoke daily for a few years and most people have a huge struggle quitting.
