Why drugs?
“Life as we find it, is too hard for us; it brings too many
pains, disappointments and impossible tasks. In
order to bear it, we cannot dispense with palliative
measures... there are perhaps three such measures:
powerful deflection, which causes to make light our
misery; substantive satisfactions, which diminish it;
and intoxication, which makes us insensitive to it.”
- Freud
