People love to feel good. And by feel
good I mean get fucked up. People have been doing it ever since some
weird ass caveman ate a piece of fruit that was too old and got
loose. There have been a lot of rappers dying the past few years from
drug use. Drug use ain't new in music by any stretch of the
imagination its just the drugs that these kids are taking are
powerful as fuuuuuck. I read that in 2017 that 33% of rap songs that
were on Billboard's Hot 100 chart mentioned lean aka Codeine. I was
recently talking to a friend about lean and why people use two cups
when they drink it. Its because the shit sweats through the first
one. Do I really wanna ingest something that leaks through a
Styrofoam cup? No, not really.
I am gonna sit here and try to explain
all the drugs these kids are doing these days and what they feel
like. This is not from experience. I say no to drugs! Hell, every kid
that was in the D.A.R.E program in the 80's did the most drugs. Most
of these sound fun as hell to do but when you see someone who took
too much at once or could not stop when they should've the shit does
not look any sorta fun. I say if you are gonna get turnt just drink
responsibly or smoke weed. Or just watch a good TV or porn. Relax.
Because its sucks living in a world where we know we loss Prince to a
prescription pill addiction.
Adderall. This is one of those drugs
that as soon as you know what it looks like when someone is on it
you start spotting it all over the place. This one should be called
“The Annoying Drug.” It is a mixture of amphetamine (METH!!!) and
dextroamphetamine. It was originally a weight loss drug and then they
tried it out on kids with ADHD. Now adults are using it to stay alert
at work and college students are using it to prepare for their
futures of paying student loans until they are 35. It is meant to
enhance your concentration and focus. People love this shit. It is
something that should be prescribed but someone always knows someone
who knows someone who can get it.
Fentanyl. This shit right here? This
shit right here?! This should not exist and should seriously be
illegal. Okay. Before I continue I am not some bible thumping dude
walking around shouting “Shame!” at everyone. I just don't like
that so many people are addicted to shit. In 2018 a survey said that
in this country an estimated 54 million people 12 years and older
have used prescription drugs for non-medical reasons. In 2016 1 in 10
people were hooked on a prescription of some sort. The fuck, y'all?
Anyhoot, Fentanyl makes you feel like you have no care in the world
and relaxed. It is a synthetic opioid and 100 times more potent than
morphine. This drug has caused more overdoses than any other
synthetic opioid.
Ecstasy. This is a classic. This shit
was around back when I was in high school and the kids loved it.
Particularly ravers and club kids. This makes you feel all the happy
and more in touch with fellow humans. And by in touch you can't keep
your paws off of 'em. Its science ass name is
3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine but since we aren't fucking nerds
its called MDMA. This is the drug that chemists in Ivy League schools
started testing out most famously Timothy Leary and the Unibomber! It
was supposed to help in psychotherapy and a healthy alternative to
cocaine. Yeah, cocaine used to be all up in everything back in the
day.
OxyContin. This was created in the
early 1900's as oxycodone but in 1996 they said fuck that, changed
some things around, and gave it a new name. It is a pain killer and
by pain I mean life. This shit is said to make you feel Halle Berry
in Monster's Ball good. Back in 2010 there were 5,500 people trying
it for the first time every day and over 100,000 overdosing on it
every year. Sounds safe, huh? After realizing that people were
crushing and snorting this they changed it so that if you tried to
dissolve it the stuff would turn gummy. That obviously did not stop
anyone since we are in the middle of a massive epidemic. You should
only take this if prescribed but from the way the shit works out I
wouldn't even chance that. If a doctor gives this to you you can't
even just be like “I feel better I could probably stop taking it!”
You have to ween yourself off of it.
Codeine. Also known as purple drank,
lean, or Sizzurp. The guys that made this drink famous died because
of it. Rappers who still take it have seizures the way most folks get
hiccups. People mix this with Sprite or Jolly Ranchers and sip the
shit and should just start a countdown clock to when they wake up in
a hospital. Like most of these drugs it is supposed to make you feel
amazing. This shit is helping kill a lot of rappers who make it seem
like its cool to take a fucking medicine to feel awesome. It feels
weird even saying that knowing how many kids get these crazy things
from parents who are themselves addicted to them.
Xanax. Supposed to reduce your anxiety
and panic disorders. This is the source of inspiration for a lot of
sad ass rappers. This is why you can't understand the words in songs
that your kids are listening to anymore. Before all the rappers were
taking this I remember seeing it in movies from sad mothers. I
thought it was something mommy would take to get through the day. Not
mine of course. Most Black women don't fuck with that shit. You young
girls though...
Percocet. This makes you feel good and
numb which seems to be what everyone is chasing. These are a
combination of Oxycodone and acetaminophen. Out of all the side
effects of taking this shit “black, tarry stools” is enough for
me to stay as far away from this as possible.
The question everyone that isn't on
drugs asks when they hear or read about all these studies about the
addiction crisis in this country is “Why don't we help them?” I
think the people asking that question are sometimes addicted
themselves and hiding it. So many people are taking pills for some
form of anxiety alone. I would suggest therapy but do not think that
it helps in the long run to be taking a pill for the rest of your
life. I know there are some conditions that require it. I would never
suggest someone who is bipolar to skip a day or two and just say no.
I don't think medical companies want this shit to slow down in any
way because they make billions on this. I lie. Last year it was 1.2
trillion. That's a thousand millions, y'all. They not trying to make
less money this year.
I'm also not suggesting you start sticking pins
in your shoulders after invasive surgery. I believe that doctors need
to start being more honest with their patients. I think patients need
to return the favor. History of drug use needs to be an open
conversation. You could go to the dentist and get some powerful shit
that can send you on a brand new life where teeth are optional. I
would like to see millions of people making real resolutions in their
lives to attempt to be happier and cut out the people, places, and
things that make it not so instead of a pill.
