Meth is like a large forest fire. In either case, the results aren\u2019t good. Ultimately, it\u2019s a matter of genetics how the damage is ultimately expressed. With cocaine, a few people can go quite a long time before the damage is apparent, while others get Parkinson\u2019s or dementia relatively early.<\/p>\n<p>Cocaine was rampant in the entertainment industry in the \u201970\u2032s and \u201980\u2032s. Consider how MJFox was able to star in a major sitcom, while starring in a major motion picture at the same time. Normally, that\u2019s impossible, unless cocaine is your copilot. I believe Fox got Parkinson\u2019s so we might have \u201cBack to the Future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the same reason, I predict we\u2019ll see more famous boomers dying a bit early, and unpleasantly, many with neurological issues, brain aneurysms, etc., in the near future. Linda Rondstadt and Joni Mitchell come to mind.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s still annoying to me when people tweet about Robin Williams, saying \u201cit gets better. get help for depression,\u201d when depression wasn\u2019t his problem. His problem was regular cocaine use turned his brain into something reminiscent of a dried up cat turd. It\u2019s like telling someone without arms if he just gets a good coach, and the right attitude, he could be a good baseball player.<\/p>\n<p>To this day, drugs are still not a problem in the entertainment industry as long as it enhances your performance, and it enhances many of your favorite actor\u2019s performances. Nobody like to bring it up, because it\u2019s taking a shit on a party. Aaron Sorkin without cocaine means we don\u2019t get West Wing! We can\u2019t have that, so be quiet, you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comments: Cocaine is like a small forest fire in the brain. Meth is like a large forest fire.
