Your brain is physically changed the first time you try a strawberry. There is no going back to normal. There was the person who you were before you tried a strawberry and the person who you are after you tried a strawberry. If you manage to never eat another strawberry, ten years later you're still thinking about what a tasty berry it was. You will fondly remember that taste until you die ...
- say_it_as_it_is 6y agoI need to know where you get your strawberries, for a friend.
- yboris 6y agoI just think it's a nice parallel. Drugs are experiences. Visiting Paris, or visiting a visually-inventive part of your mind while on LSD - from a certain perspective, these are the same thing. The claim that a drug changes your brain forever is trivially true - it is literally true of strawberries. Once you've had the taste, you'll likely remember the experience of tasting it (and if you're not too young, you might remember the place and people that were there during your first bite). For all the hysteria about the harms of drugs, we seldom hear a level-headed point of view about the possibility of them being a(nother) wonderful aspect of life.
