alt texttweet by Johann Hari: The core of addiction is not wanting to be present in life, because pour life is too painful a place to be. This is why imposing more pain or punishment on a person with an addiction problem actually makes their addiction worse.

By the time I was 15 I had done cocaine, methamphetamine, alcohol, codeine, ketamine, mdma, amphetamine, methylphenidate, weed, mushrooms, acid, dmt and probably more that I just can't remember. The mushrooms didn't fund a drug gang, they funded my education, but everything else except those and alcohol funded a drug gang.

Which of those are you still on, if you think that experience was typical?

Psychedelics, weed and if I'm at a concert maybe md or k. I'm not on any of the really hard stuff like alcohol tho.
