The Appeal of Drugs © 2016
“Well, I know, I’m hooked my friend,
to the ‘boy’ I’ve got to hand it,
who makes slave of men… flying high
in the friendly sky. Marvin Gaye
As human beings, we learn in two major ways: from our own experiences and those of others. When you were a child, and you touched a hot stove, you quickly learned from your own experience, not to do that again. But touching a hot stove and learning from that experience was relatively simple.
When we see people doing drugs and ruining their bodies and their lives, you might wonder why isn’t that a teachable moment for them just as the hot stove was. Certainly, seeing people destroying their lives with drugs isn’t something most people would want to emulate. Yet, it happens everyday.
Is a it a matter of people believing they are the exception? Do they believe they’re too smart to become addicted?
At any rate, the list of people who believed they could simply flirt with drugs and escape the consequences is legend.
If you haven’t tried drugs, don’t start. Few people who have done drugs have improved the quality of their lives, physically or mentally. People smarter than you thought they could try it, however, the drugs turned them into modern day slaves.
Get this. Many Blacks talk about how we were enslaved by the WHITE man, but they have no problem being a slave to WHITE powder. Now that’s one of those things that will make you say hmmmm.
Here are just a smidgen of the many well-known people who died from drug use:
Amy Winehouse
Billie Holiday
David Ruffin
Heath Ledger
Jim Morrison
Jimi Hendrix
John Belushi
Marvin Gaye
Michael Jackson
Ol’ Dirty Bastard
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Whitney Houston
