Yesterday, I was listening to the interview of Andreas Niedrig a world-class triathlete , winner of the Ironman and many other competitions, he is also the author of a book called ” Vom Junkie zum Ironman” (from Junkie to Ironman), before he was the champion he is now, he was into heroin, he decided to change path when he hit the bottom, in the interview he said that sport give him sensation that drugs doesn’t give him.

There are many reasons why people can turn to drugs, that can be escaping reality, need for self-destruction , hiding pains , may be, they are other reasons. A couple of years ago, I had a friend and he went to a rave festival and there he took something , the next thing we knew, he was sent several months in hospital, the man completely fried his brain with the drug he took in that party, his brain didn’t support it, after a couple of months, he was released from hospital. I saw him ,oh man, he was like a zombie, I mean a real zombie, he was smelling all the drugs his doctor prescribed to him, he had empty and lifeless eyes, he was scary. We don’t know what he took there, but it sure damaged his brain for life.
I also knew a girl that took some chemical supplement to ‘enhance’ her experience, she told me that she could perceive ‘life’ with more intense colors under the influence of that drug.
Another girl I knew took chemical supplement, she fell down and woke up several hours later in a hospital bed.

What recreational drugs (MDMA, LSD,GHB….) users don’t seem to understand, It’s that what they perceive as ‘the trip’ is actually the destruction of their brain cells. Read More→
