This one goes out to all my homies in the science department.
I never really paid attention in high school, cause they never taught anything in the science classes that really caught my interest. But I do have an interest for science; earth science... the nervous system and senses... sexuality... shit like that.
But something's been on my mind for a while: drugs. Not just drugs though; food too; nutrition.
Anyway, here's my idea:
All things you eat have mind altering effects. There's hallucinogens, depressants, stimulants, and all that. Those have active chemicals in them that cause those effects. Isn't there chemicals in everything we eat, though, that in turn effects the mind? Perhaps we no longer realize the effects of most of the things we eat, since our body has developed in order to require some of those things. I guess that may have something to do with evolution, too.
Totally not my subject, obviously... but I am interested in it. What kinds of things should I be reading about? Anyone feel like explaining those things to me?
I wish I could explain it better... this is one of my tylenol/aspirin/robotussin induced posts. I have some kind of cold and am very tired and probably shouldn't be up right now. Ehh but I couldn't sleep and I just finished eating breakfast. Maybe I'll eventually get back into a normal sleeping habit.
