The feeling of depression and suffocation is similar to "A Clockwork Orange". A good demonstration of compulsive relapse after heroin addiction. Realistic reproduction of the different consequences of addiction.
There are many kinds of drugs in the film. First of all, it directly leads to the amputation of the male protagonist's arm, the heroin that the female protagonist is deeply enslaved by, the second is the cocaine that everyone gets together, and the ecstasy pills that the female protagonist sends to the male protagonist and the male protagonist's friends to pass the time, and finally, listening to music to eat Something giggle of marijuana. Also, the weight loss pills for the male protagonist and mother should be amphetamines, which act like ice.
Why do you become addicted to drugs? People who are addicted to drugs may not have been so wasteful. I just want to find something to make myself less miserable after being beaten up by life. When he found that as long as he took some drugs, everything was not a problem. Whatever happens in life requires some medicine. He may have had dreams and things he wanted to do. But when he used medicine as a tool to resolve all emotions, he lost the ability to do everything. When you are sad, take some medicine, and when you encounter setbacks, take some medicine. When the drug replaces other things, it becomes the only way to stimulate the secretion of dopamine in the brain. Happiness is enslaved by drugs and loses its ability to solve problems. At this time, it became the legendary drug dependence. (For example, parrots eat grass seeds and bugs in the wild. They are fed by humans for a long time at home and then thrown into the wild. They will starve to death because they lose their ability to forage. Dopamine is like parrots, drugs are like feed, and life is like the wild. )
What does a drug addict look like?
The two had nothing to play and started quarreling, accusing each other. The male protagonist sat on the sofa almost motionless, as if his brain had been hollowed out. The heroine wanted to find some medicine at home, and smashed it all over the place. In order to get some medicine, the hero asks the heroine to meet the old man who misses him. In order to get some medicine, the heroine endured extremely disgusting sexual behavior time and time again.
The male protagonist's arm was infected and was nearly scrapped. He continued to inject, and felt that some heroin would be fine. The male protagonist's mother is already mentally abnormal, and the hallucinations and auditory hallucinations are extremely serious, and it is impossible to distinguish the virtual from the reality and continue to take a large number of drugs. Medicines became their only salvation.
What can drug addiction lead to?
The male lead amputated, and the male lead friend goes to prison. (The syringe or medicines are not clean, the male protagonist's friend drives with drugs) The male protagonist's mother is mentally ill, (caused by amphetamine-type stimulants, refer to the persecutory paranoia caused by methamphetamine). The only person left who seemed to be able to pretend to be normal was the heroine, who smiled and closed her eyes while holding the heroin exchanged from the sex party. Surrounded by scattered fashion magazines, run down, like her once fashion flair, and another lifestyle she should have had. (Everyone curls up in this segment and turns to the heroine smiling and closing her eyes. Heroin is their dream requiem)
As a traditional drug, it does not affect the brain as quickly as the new psychoactive drugs make people become mentally ill. However, the addiction is extremely strong, the physical reaction of withdrawal is severe, the direct contact with blood, and the sanitary conditions cannot be guaranteed. There is little difference between the dose used and the lethal dose. These made heroin a time killer. Rock stars who die from heroin overdose get a handful. .
People who are addicted to drugs have the illusion that they can control themselves well and not be controlled by drugs. As a result, the physical and psychological dual addiction, without knowing it. For example, the heroine, compulsive relapse. He also said that his drug addiction is not that serious. .
Even some people are already very drug dependent, and they don't even realize it. Take the most green and harmless cannabis for peace&love. Just look at Stoner's assessment of marijuana: not addictive, don't smoke if you want. No harm to the body, no smoking and no discomfort. Is it really?
Fuxking no! !
One bite of cake a year, or one bite of cake a month. Will there be a sugar addiction?
Eat cake every day and drink Coke as water. Addictive?
In the same way marijuana, heavy and continuous use can lead to addiction. And the current cannabis is no longer the thc content of a few percent or even a few tenths of a decade ago. Some varieties even reach 60% thc or more, and addiction has long been different from the concept of previous people. And because of the mechanism of action of marijuana: stimulating brain nerves to secrete dopamine, etc., it replaces the original nervous system reward mechanism. As a result, the activities of the prefrontal lobe of the brain are inhibited, and the neurons in the premaxillary lobe of the brain gradually degenerate, just like a rusty bicycle chain.
The functions of the prefrontal lobe include: memory, judgment, analysis, thinking, and operation.
Therefore, addicted people usually have poor reaction ability, learning ability, memory ability, perception ability of the surrounding environment, logical thinking ability, self-discipline ability, emotional perception ability of others, and initiative and hands-on ability to varying degrees. And people addicted to marijuana are always used to self-deception and self-comfort, living in the satisfaction brought by burning grass, and can't do one thing properly. In serious cases, deceptive thinking will also be formed, and they are accustomed to answering questions with lies.
(Simply put, lazy and stupid without knowing it)
Psychological manifestations during the withdrawal period are depression, boredom, depression, anxiety, nothing to do, irritability, and mood similar to bipolar disorder. Physiologically manifested as anorexia nervosa, and insomnia. But after a month, the symptoms almost disappeared. The only irreversible is the decline in various abilities caused by the long-term degeneration of the prefrontal lobe of the brain.
There is very little domestic drug knowledge, and some are brainless induced by mad dogs, which is not a good trend.
At present, drug abuse in China tends to be younger, and the brain is not fully developed before the age of 21. The use of psychotropic drugs can cause irreversible damage. Even if the effects of marijuana are like a little brother compared to other drugs, it is unlikely to be used in lethal doses.
But don't forget, he can't kill you. It kills dreams that you could have accomplished.
Think about whether you need a requiem for your dreams or the joy of real life.
Choose life.
