this thread discusses drugs of addiction that are prescribed en masse especially in north america. so a great imaginative starting point would be to imagine being told you must consume a hard drug to cure a condition that is inherently part of you. after a while you develop a tolerance to those drugs you have been taught are your savior. then you need more drugs to achieve the same feeling you were taught is 'normal'. could you begin to see how that might feel, and how the system could possibly be seen to push people to the brink due to systematic indifference in favor of systematic interests?
