I actually agree with some of what you are saying - I'm fascinated with mood altering drugs/medications and the effects they produce, etc. I minored in biological psychology and loved every minute. However, I've never felt compelled to experiment with drugs - isn't that odd? Well, I guess there are doctors out there who research and study the minds and behaviors of serial killers but never actually go out and kill people themselves...eh?I too have seen people on "legal" medication cocktails going through terrible withdrawl/side effects, etc. My worst is going off SSRI's I HATE those BRAIN SHOCKS!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!
Anyway.....back to music. Hmm..not sure what to say. It still is a grey emptiness for me...unfortunately.
