Because it’s not the ultimate pathway to euphoria for everyone.
Some of us don’t like the “sinking into oblivion” feeling of that class of drugs. I don’t want to feel like my IQ has been sliced in half. Really hate it actually.
The dragon to chase is of the functional businessman’s variety- cocaine. I’d rather take something that enhances my life experience, turns conversation in liquid gold oozing from mouth. Opiates and barbiturates temporarily hide your problems under a blanket of haze, confusion, and constipation. No thanks.
