A militant INDEPENDENT democratic socialist's attempt to expose the truth of our culture – in all its rich irony and absurdity.

I was curious about this drug FENTANYL " high " . I read this :
I was curious about this drug fentanyl " high " . I read this :
[How does fentanyl affect the brain?
Like heroin, morphine, and other opioid drugs, fentanyl works by binding to the body's opioid receptors, which are found in areas of the brain that control pain and emotions.8 After taking opioids many times, the brain adapts to the drug, diminishing its sensitivity, making it hard to feel pleasure from anything besides the drug. When people become addicted, drug seeking and drug use take over their lives.
Fentanyl's effects include
extreme happiness
drowsiness
nausea
confusion
constipation
sedation
problems breathing
unconsciousness ]
If you have some idealistic notion of the essence of HUMAN HAPPINESS - like wallowing in LOVE , LOVE with perhaps a religious element , a WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD , LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND emotion , this is indeed DEPRESSING information . But it should make you cynical about " extreme happiness " on this side of Paradise. I will say that as a source of anxiety and misery CONSTIPATION is under-rated . For that reason alone AVOID fentanyl . What a BILLION brain and nerve cells can do to make PAIN also INFINITE !
We must learn early in life that it is not all about HAPPINESS . But what can you do if an ogre existentialist philosopher got it right in one of his plays : " Hell [ the opposite of HAPPINESS ] is OTHER PEOPLE " ?
If RELIGION is " the opium of the people ", that at least need not be banned by the FDA nor by today's WOKE WARRIOR fanaticism .
