Cosmetics

Most medicines and other pills

people take are cosmetic.

Some medicines actually cure 

diseases...penicillin, insulin, high

blood pressure medication, to give

a few examples. 

But let's look at some others.

Chemo therapy and radiation

for cancer have horrible success

rates. They are cosmetics for

dying people to think that they are

being treated and everything is

being done for them. 

How reassuring.

Painkillers are cosmetics for pain.

All the psychedelics are cosmetics

you smear on reality. They can be

beneficial because they show that

reality is not solid, but they wear off

and you're left with the same old face.

The revelations vanish like an opium

dream.

An exception to this is Ibogane, which

does cure physical addiction to opiates,

but when it's over, one returns to the

same circumstances that caused one to 

become addicted in the first place.

Good luck there.

So, real change in humans is

not possible through drugs.

In fact, most drugs mask the

path to change. Have a nice trip.
