1) What is your Drug Of Choice? or better yet, what are your top three?
Amphetamine, opioids, ketamine.
2) Why?
Feels good man...
Er, I guess I enjoy the speedy, rapid thoughts and general enthusiasm towards being alive of amphetamine. I like the sense of well being and having ones desires all satiated of opioids. Ketamine is just straight entertainment.
Especially if you are currently addicted to any particular substance. What qualities of this drug caught your interest the most? Does it enhance your personality? Does it put things into perspective for you? Does it make life easier? Or maybe it just feels really, really, really good.
Amphetamines. It feels really, really good. It gives me the energy and interest to find it a subjectively relatively easy to attack my daily tasks.
3) And now I know, it may sound a little wack, but just use your imagination here. What if somebody offered a way of living that could allow you to have all of these delicious benefits completely naturally without relying on a substance? The only catch is that it would take a year of strong discipline, reconditioning and sobriety. Would you take him up on his offer?
It is completely natural. Nothing about physiology, biochemistry, it's underpinning "vanilla" chemistry and it's underpinning physics are supernatural in nature. That is, if they are somehow real, in any meaningful use of that word, then they necessarily exist within the constrains of nature and thus are natural. As such, your question becomes irrelevant.
Using a weaker meaning of "natural", it still does not fly. If using "required considerable human technological effort to make the product" vs not as the boundary between natural and unnatural, it still does not address why "natural" is better, why would the premise of it being "natural" have ANY merit in changing my mind? Natural does not imply a)beneficial b) if not beneficial, not harmful. c) if harmful, less so things which are "synthetic" (compare: Plague bacteria, completely natural in origin. vs books, completely artificial) .d) any other definable advantage. With no other premise besides the "naturalness"- as discussed, an inherently neutral attribute. but with the addition of a material disadvantage (That of a long period of sobriety and effort). As such, I would be unlikely to convert.
