Hurricane What's-Her-Name

Thanks. In the post you liked I was kind of making a note on a quote that caught my attention that reminded me of how it’s usually a drug catalyst that causes a zombie outbreak. The full quote was from the book ‘The Pursuit of Oblivion: The Global History of Narcotics’, and it will definitely give you a lot to think about along the lines you mentioned. I think the book takes the stance that the criminalization of drugs is the problem, as stated in this quote from the book (on another blog of mine), and that it is way things changed in the 20th century and our current century that have simply rounded out the problem, which has always been with us. But the book is very evenhanded and offers no easy solutions, but is mostly very informative and engages the entire debate, so it’s a good book to read whether you think you’ve made up your mind or not. Basically the section I was quoting from, every new drug that was discovered from opium to morphine were heralded as the next big thing and prescribed as a cure-all to everyone, causing tons of ‘side-effects’ including death when used to “calm down” young children and infants. I think there are definitely lessons to be learned, especially with the looming decriminalization of marijuana it seems that is spreading. I would recommend that book definitely, it’s a good read all around and thanks for following, I’ll be following you back at my main account as ExXceptionDraft.
