Why I Like Getting High (An Essay by Yours Truly)

I just wrote this because I'm bored.
I like getting high for a myriad of reasons. The first (and maybe only) is probably the most obvious. Humans like new things. If we didn't, we would probably still be chasing lions in Africa... although some people still do that. I wonder if they like getting high too? I sit here in "my" house with a million pounds on my shoulders. I have all this shit but what the fuck is it worth? It's all been plastered with monetary value, and my time and effort is what dictates the value of these things that "i own". It really is nice to own such things, I mean, where would I be without this lamp, or this alarm clock? I might not show up on time to work, or heaven forbid, miss it altogether! Then my ass wouldn't make any money, I wouldn't have monetary value attached to me for shit, I'd be living in a fucking ditch getting shit on and rained on every night.. gotta have that alarm clock. We are what we eat, and since we've created a plastic world around us, we have in turn turned ourselves into plastic soulless beings, living as to only sell ourselves for more and more plastic things, and to find others to listen to us spew bullshit about what we perceive ourselves to be. I'm fucking tired of it. Getting high is just like getting in touch with the roots of not only myself, but with the world around me. Everything is so fucking boring in this plastic world, but the organic world is bright and flowing with life and mystery. Hypocrisy runs deep in this stagnant nation. I am guilty of it as well of course! We fill our lives with nonsense and if this partcilar nonsense makes us happy then we claim to have fulfilling lives... just as we've branded our own perceptual reasoning upon the stars, we've tried to create reason for ourselves and our existence. Since the material world is filled with plastic bullshit, why not make the immaterial world plastic as well? As the smoke enterse my longues, I being to laugh. I hear melodies I've never heard, I see colors I didn't know exist. The limits of reality expand, and I slowly beign to realize that there ARE NO LIMITS, we just make them up to please ourselves, we wouldn't want to be scared by the true mysteries of existence. I live through the eyes of the dead, for they have pushed the boundaries of existence farther then any, maybe they are the only true organic beings. As a child I looked at the world iwth a sense of wonder, never knowing what would come next, or caring. I didn't want to be anything or anyone else when I grew up, I wanted to be me, for I was special. Growing up, I've realized that I'm not special, and neither are you. Or maybe I am special, and so are you... Plastic trees do not release oxygen. I get high to see the world through a child's eyes... I get high because I'm just plain fucking bored.

Do you think if the world weren't this fake, plastic, boring, stagnant and soulless place, that you wouldn't get high or you would get high less? I don't think any human reality, however awesome it is can compete with the peak of a powerful trip or the effects of your favorite drug. That's what's so seductive about drugs, nothing comes near the intensity of high dosage, high purity shit. Think of the rock stars and movie stars who have it all, the fame, the fortune, the admiration - even with all of that, the drugs still win out. They're powerful shit and we are wired to seek pleasure and avoid pain and for some us, the drug is the ultimate in pleasure regardless of the pain.

I like it because I understand how you feel. Thanks for expressing this-- stop eating plastic shit, keep smoking pot and writing your observations, then we change the world We got this shit-- the time is nearer than ever--- our destinies await and the forces of darkness WILL burn themselves out.

I enjoy getting high because...well, shit, I forgot.
It was a good reason, though. I assure you.

*DEIT A "short piece of writing" does not equal "no formatting" but we are just splittin' hairs with no need
