But the drugs don't work, they just make it worse(Something along the lines of a song by...I think maybe Oasis)

I was thinking the other day (Yes, it did hurt) about kids and why they are all so fucked up on drugs these days. I was looking for an answer. Google could not help me for shit and neither could anyone else. So I cast deep into my brain for an answer. I ended up standing on this huge rock in my brain looking over a crystal clear mountain pool…of knowledge! I dived in and this is what I found.

When I was a kid my parents used to buy new cars (The days when people actually bought new cars) and I used to love getting into the car at the showroom while the oldies were sorting out all the paperwork. I’d sit there and enjoy that new car smell. I’d get high as a kite on that new car smell. The drive home would be like one big dream. When the folks asked how the car was I would be like “No, like, I dig this car’s vibe, DAD!” You see these days “scientists” are saying that these fumes in new cars are dangerous and no doubt they will soon be trying to cut down on these fumes.

In the old days, Coca Cola used to contain cocaine. Not enough to stuff you up, but just enough to make you keep on trucking.

I have this Moleskine notebook that I take with me everywhere, in case the mood strikes to write a fucking AWESOME article. It says the paper is “acid free” So I take it that in the old days there was acid in the paper. So while writing on it this acid would absorb into your skin. That’s why the writers of the old days came up with such crazy ass stories. Not because they were necessarily good writers, but because they were on good drugs.

So through the ages people have always been exposed to small amounts of drugs whether it was the cocaine in coke, acid in writing paper or fumes in new cars. Now that we have become very aware of the dangers of these things we have cut them out. But deep down in the human DNA, our bodies crave these things. And that is my theory on why kids are taking drugs. Call me crazy, call me genius, but that’s my theory and I’m sticking to it. Think about it…and just let it be…
