Sex and Drugs
Sex and Drugs
"Idon't need drugs to make me freak," said a sister, "I'm a naturalfreak. I don't need nothing but some good dick!" And so it is, peoplespend billions of dollars around the world to get high, yet the braincontains the chemicals that get us high naturally. Certain activitiessuch as sex, dancing, jogging, listening to music or a great speech, canget us high, even eating good, natural food can make us proclaim, "Thisfood is better than dope!"
So imagine the human toll on societyfor those persons who think they must have drugs to get high. Dopefiends kill to get drugs to medicate themselves from the stress of life,and yet the drugs only release the chemicals already in their brainthat make them high, endorphins and dopamine.
Caffeine andnicotine release the brain chemicals as well. Coffee is dope, withoutwhich workers on their wage slavery jobs would be unable to work. Thatfirst cigarette in the morning is dope, it causes a release of thechemical that gets us high. A woman said before she took that firstcigarette of the day she had to get her kids off to school, then comeback, sit down and relax, then hit that nicotine.
As per sex,after getting a nut, I am wide awake, cannot sleep for anything. I mustget up to write. I enjoyed the sex but it only sparked the energy to becreative. After sex, I might write throughout the night, while my loverkeeps crying for me to come to bed, she wants me next to her. I'm notthinking about her, I'm fired up, I want to be creative.
And sowe want to be high because we are from the Most High, thus we need thatsupreme feeling or ecstasy to be in harmony with the universe. Withoutthat high we are indeed cut off from the reed bed, in the metaphor ofRumi. We yearn to return, to be united with the beloved that puts us inharmony with nature. Isn't it strange that we don't need drugs when weare in nature? What is higher than listening to the ocean, the silenceof the trees, the music of the birds?
Isn't it ironic andshameful that nine thousand people have lost their lives in Mexico thelast few years because of the drug trade to America? And what is thecost to families and communities in America who are victims of the drugepidemic? Imagine the abandoned and neglected children who must beplaced in foster care because their parents were under the granddelusion they needed drugs to medicate themselves from the stress ofoppression. Ninety percent of the inmates in jail and prison were underthe influence of drugs at the time of their arrest. Obviously they wereunable to think clearly, if they had been, there's the possibility theywouldn't have gotten arrested.
When I hustled as dope fiend, Inever wanted to be high while getting money for dope. I wanted to besharp so I could be at the top of my game, even though my purpose wasnegative, for after I got high the only thing I felt was paranoia. Yes, Ispent thousands of dollars to be paranoid. And sex was a no, no. I wastotally dysfunctional sexually on Crack.
Many girls would carry adildo in their purse because they knew many brothers would not be ableto function sexually after hitting the pipe. Sometimes the girls wouldbeg to let them serve me before I hit the pipe. Eventually I got loadedalone because there was no need to be with a Crack Ho when I couldn'tfunction sexually.
In twelve years of Crack addiction, I onlyenjoyed a woman once, and that was when we couldn't get theparaphernalia to cook the cocaine, so we sniffed it and sucked andfucked half the night. The Crack would have only lasted a few minutesand sex wouldn't have lasted one minute, if that long.
So thebest high is the natural high, yes, cold sober, especially if one canget to nature or do natural things like being creative, walking,dancing, listening to great music or a great speech, looking at yourbeautiful woman, being with your children and grandchildren. This is thereal high that puts us in harmony with the Most High. Try it!
