Drugs

Most of us use drugs, for the effect they give us. Most of us being the ‘work force’ that is people who work to get the money they need to live (or to live in the style they enjoy). The drugs we use are not the drugs of typical junkies (although we may feel we need the hit and effect just as much). The effect we are after is not a depressant one, or a hallucinogenic one, we need the pick me up effect. We need that caffeine hit, our morning coffee or that boost we get from an energy drink. We do this so that we can concentrate properly, not faze out, get that report done, stay alert and awake on that constructions site, or that long drive. These legal drugs seem to give us the hit we need to do this (except in the cases of people who take their kids adhd meds) but does the fact that we seem to need these drugs just to make it through the regular structure of our everyday lives, indicate simply that our lives are too overladed, that we should take a break, a detox from our drugs and the lives we lead that make us need them?
