BREAK THE KEY OFF IN THE LOCK
In our last segment, we identified some of the pollutants or more
specifically, CRAP that we might find in our alleged Methamphetamine and
touched on the effects they might have upon injestion, but that was nothing
really, it does not touch on the real meat of your inquiry as to why the
different types of highs or high substitutes. Any glorp could have
figured that shit out, given time. I mean, really. Having shot-up perhaps
a gallon of Acetone over the years, one would hope that he could finally
link the taste to the smell to the cross-eyed wooziness at some point.
Despite the damage done by the drug-solvent combinations, it's a simple
Watsonian type of learning response, eh? Not all that impressive.
But there is much more to it, it gets pretty complicated, perhaps even
what we sometimes refer to as `highFalootin', it is propitious that I, Dr.
Thaddius POPeye, have just the right educayshunal background,
calibrated-scientific degrees, as well as the necessary interactive
flexvoCabulary to explain these things in such a way that they may be
understood by someone who still has plenty of brain cells.
To begin with, we need some notion of just how psychoactive drugs work. To
understand that, we need a fully comprehensive, total understanding of the
human Central Nervous System... No problem, it's actually VERY simple and I
think I can cover what is now known, as well as a few things the science
guys haven't quite grasped , in a few paragraphs.
It's a system which utilizes both electrical and chemical activity, or what
we call in hyphenated-grammatical science, electro-chemical.
The electrical part is made up of nerve cells and they are just wires that
conduct electricity. Drugs don't react with this part. Things that have
an effect on this part of the system would be like meat cleavers, bullets,
and external electrical feeds... and perhaps very powerful magnetic fields.
This is why those guys who put powerful magnets under their hats are so
goofy.
The nerve cells are strung together with synapses, the chemical part (see
fig 1) each synapse is a miniature chemical system...as the signal passes
through the synapse it becomes vulnerable to amplification, distortion,
elimination, colorization, etc. by other chemicals which have been
introduced into the larger system by trauma, fatigue, excitation, or
design. This is the place where the drugs do their thing.
