Cocaine Decisions - Frank Zappa

Chop a line now
Cocaine decisions
You are a person with a snow-job
You got a fancy “gotta go” job
Where the cocaine decisions that you make today
Will mean that millions somewhere else
Will do it your way
Cocaine decisions
You are a person who is high class
You are a person not in my class
And the cocaine decisions that you make today
Will mean nothing later on
When you get nose decay
I don’t wanna know ‘bout the things that you pull
Outta your nose or where they goes
But if you are wasted from the stuff you’re stickin’ in it
I get madder every day
‘Cause what you do and what you say affects my life in such a way
I learn to hate it every minute
I don’t wanna know ‘bout the things that you pull
Outta your nose or where they goes
But if you are wasted from the stuff you’re stickin’ in it
I get madder every day
‘Cause what you do and what you say affects my life in such a way
I learn to hate it every minute
Cocaine decisions
You are a doctor or a lawyer
You got an office with a foyer
And the cocaine decisions that you make today
Will not be discovered ‘til it’s over and done
By the customers you hold at bay
Cocaine decisions
You are a movie business guy
You got accountants who supply
The necessary figures to determine when you fly
To Acapulco where all your friends go
Cocaine decisions
We must watch the stuff you make
You have let us eat the cake
While your accountants tell you, “Yes, yes, yes”
You make expensive ugliness, how do you do it? Let me guess
Cocaine decisions
Cocaine decisions
Cocaine decisions
Cocaine decisions
Cocaine decisions
Cocaine decisions
Cocaine decisions
Cocaine decisions

Microdosing mushrooms as a kind of performance-enhancing brain boost

Why did I think of Biden when I read this?

"...Gateway to demon possession..."

Hey, a little bit of hallucinatory, manic psychosis never hurt anybody...

(Other than the people who went temporarily insane and killed people -
and their victims, of course...)

Define "improve".
Increased brain activity, maybe.
Better data processing, memory and judgment, clearly not.

Ah, performance enhancing drugs. Nicotine bad. Steroids bad. Amphetamines bad. Psychedelic mushrooms ... well, they're being done by the Right People, so they're ok?

A recent and very good movie is on point here. It deals with alcohol. Some of us will recognize the mantra "cunning, baffling and powerful." It's in furrin with English subtitles. Here you go: Another Round trailer

Off Topic: I have always liked that song. (Horse w no nme)
That group America, had another hit back then called Tin Man.
When I left home for out of state college, my parents gave me the 45 record of Tin Man to take with me.
They knew I was into that type of music.

The serious research on psilocybin (ie. magic mushroom) I have seen suggests it is may have use as a short-term course of treatment for addiction and depression. Not for daily use. Its not a vitamin

Do you think it’s trading one addiction for another?

Well, you could ingest used kitty litter and improve the performance of any “journalist” employed anywhere in the vicinity of DC.

It really makes sense.

In order to believe things like the “anti-inflation Bill” will actually work takes a certain amount of hallucinogenics.

I'm not an expert in pharmacology. I am looking for the studies I read, but they indicated that a short course (approx. 2-3 times only over a short period) combined with psychological treatment had a very high success rate on curing smoking, alcoholism - and depression.

If it is needed beyond that, then yes, it would seem to be simply replacing one addiction for another.

I haven't read anything on the uses of regular "micro-dosing."

Some believe can improve brain function.

Well that didn’t take long to be proven wrong.

They must have watched the Netflix infomercial documentary on psychedelics.
