Document Summary

Some say he invented recreational drug use. Using opium for fun rather than pain management. Drug gives you god like abilities: god like insight, makes you divine. Drug use gives de quincey a routine, structure. People by nature are irrational, drug use worsens that: drug use worsens that. Opium is democratic: works the same for everyone, hume: something is just if it works the same every time. Eventually must consume substance just to function at baseline: insane highs are no longer attainable.
