drugs and the ego

[infekt]

I was just thinking about this the other night. Say your ego is something that needs things to live, such as compliments, self-pity, gratification, pride etc. In a sense it breathes them in. The ego needs these things to survive.

Now we all know different drugs can have an effect on the ego..what exactly are these effects? Keep in mind this is supposed to be pretty light hearted..

Psychedelics - Temporarily send the ego to pack his bags and leave the mind

Opiates - Put the ego on a respiratory machine type of deal, where it doesn't have any problem breathing in and out, all that's necessary is supplied. The ego takes deep long breathes and is able to relax.

Deleriants - Smacks the ego repeatedly with a spiked bat



Anyone have one for stimulants, downers, dissociatives, empathogens, etc?
