“People use drugs, both legal and illegal, because their lives are either intolerably painful or overbearingly dull. They hate their work and find no rest in their leisure. They are estranged from their families and don’t know their neighbors. It should tell us something that in healthy societies drug use is celebrative, honored, and occasional, whereas among us it is lonely, shameful, and addictive. We have found ourselves using drugs of all sorts, apparently, because we have lost each other.” ~ inspired by Wendell Berry
